42 Hartford Business Journal • March 23, 2015 www.HartfordBusiness.com ADVERTISEMENT FIA: Focus on Clients, Community, and Collegiality F iduciary Investment Advisors, LLC (FIA) was established in April 2006. With 48 employees, we advise over $37 billion of fiduciary assets for over 250 clients, including corporate and municipal retire- ment plans, non-profit endowments and foundations, and high net worth families and individuals. FIA was founded as a truly independent firm with no conflicts of interest, focusing on serving the investment and governance needs of fiduciaries through pro-active advice and solutions. Throughout our history, our mis- sion statement remains the same — to provide custom- ized investment consulting services to assist our clients in achieving their investment objectives, while fulfilling their fiduciary obligations. We remain committed to this mission and to improving the investment outcomes of the clients we are proud to serve. We believe strongly in community involvement and take pride in being a member of our community. Our strong culture of service and our desire to make a meaningful impact is at the heart of all of our community involvement initiatives. Team members are active on the boards of numerous local, non-profit organizations. As a firm, led by our own FIA Community Service Commit- tee, we have contributed to charitable causes in a multi- tude of ways. We have raised money, collected supplies and volunteered our time for countless local charities. We have organized and sponsored charity golf tourna- ments. We have assisted a homeless shelter with its holi- day party, serving lunch and distributing gifts. We have painted rooms, organized materials, and cleaned up the grounds at several local non-profits. Over the last several years, we raised over $100,000 for a children's hospital through participation in the Hartford Marathon. Our commitment to community service is truly important to us, and is our way of recognizing our own good fortune and giving back to the region of which we feel so privi- leged to be a part. FIA also promotes a culture of fit- ness and athleticism. We offer employ- ees corporate memberships to a near- by gym, giving them the ability to work out on their lunch breaks or before or after work. We often combine our athletic pursuits with our charitable focus. We organize relay teams to participate in the Hartford Marathon annually, with more than a quarter of our employees participating each year. Twelve FIA employees will be running the 200 mile Ragnar Relay race on Cape Cod this summer; FIA also sponsors teams throughout the year in shorter runs, from the Color Me Rad race to the Run for the Woods trail run. We also organize teams to participate in events such as the Walk Against Hunger, St. Jude Walk, and the AIDS Walk. From our concentrated focus on helping our clients realize their goals and objectives, to our collegial atmo- sphere and emphasis on community service and person- al health, FIA is truly a great place to work. FIA team members spent their 2014 annual community service day doing grounds keeping work at the Channel 3 Kids Camp in Andover, CT.
