Beth was fascinated by the gap in honest, conflict free advice delivered in a straightforward no jargon manner. It was also important to educate clients about the need for very diverse portfolios and the reduction of risk in a portfolio. She also discovered that individuals would benefit from education in estate planning techniques and taking a total view of their financial picture. After meeting with several Institutional and non-profit clients, it was clear that they were unable to keep up with their fiduciary responsibility of maintaining efficient and diverse portfolios. It was clear that consistent, long term professional advice is required to smooth out the revolving door aspect of the volunteer board members.

Prior to founding Schenley Beth directed the investment selections for her family’s investment company. She invested directly in the public, private markets, oil & gas and real estate. Previously she worked for Merrill Lynch in Pittsburgh and New York. Beth actively engages public speaking for non-profit investment committees and large groups.
