What Changed for Faircourt

Institutional Support That Fit the Firm's Model

Faircourt needed an outsourced investment partner that could handle complex client needs without forcing it into standardized model portfolios.

More Time for Work That Grows the Firm

Orion took on manager research, rebalancing logistics, and portfolio mechanics. Faircourt's team now spends that time on tax planning conversations, business development, and existing clients.

Customization for Complex Client Needs

Early allocation scenarios showed Orion could match, and often improve, Faircourt's existing level of customization. That includes concentrated positions, tax considerations, and liquidity events.

Portfolio Audit surfaced hidden costs

A Partnership, Not a Handoff

Faircourt kept control of its client relationships while working directly with Orion's investment specialists. The firm stayed provider-agnostic and kept what makes it distinct.

In Jordan Fraser's Words

“I spend a lot less time on manager research, rebalancing logistics, portfolio mechanics, and far more time on relationship and strategy, tax planning conversations, business development, and deepening existing client experience.”

Managing Director of Wealth Management, Faircourt Partners

“Before I even know it’s there, they’ve already allocated and confirmed—and everything’s done.”

Managing Director of Wealth Management, Faircourt Partners

“Clients consistently comment on how responsive and personal the experience feels, even though what’s happening behind the scenes is institutional-grade portfolio management.”
