Overland Park Firm, CUSH Capital, Recognized as a Top Investment Advisor

OVERLAND PARK, KS [7/27/10] --- Overland Park, KS - based CUSH Capital Management LLC has been selected by Wealthfront to be a professional investment management firm on the wealthfront.com platform, the nation's leading online destination that connects outstanding investment managers with investors. CUSH Capital Management earned an Investing IQ of 144 based on the firm's risk-adjusted returns, quality of investment rationale and adherence to the firm's stated management style.

CUSH Capital Management, a boutique investment firm with approximately $9 million in assets under management, manages a value-based portfolio modeled on Warren Buffett's original partnership from the 1950's. “We describe our portfolio as a global, opportunistic, multi-cap, value, often deep value,” said Vern Cushenbery, founder, owner and portfolio manager for CUSH Capital Management. “But what that really means is that we don’t invest our clients’ hard-earned capital in any investment that we wouldn’t also invest our own capital. We call it Golden Rule Investing, and it’s pretty simple.”

Wealthfront evaluates investment managers based on Investing IQ, a proprietary data-driven metric that separates the lucky from the good.Investing IQ is based on some of the same factors used by Ivy League endowments to select investment managers: risk-adjusted returns, quality of investment rationale, and how closely a manager sticks to their stated investment style. An Investing IQ of at least 140 is required to be listed on the Wealthfront platform, and CUSH Capital Management is one of a select group of managers from across the country that has achieved this status.

“We are extremely pleased and excited to be included in Wealthfront’s line-up of investment managers,” said Cushenbery. “We consider it an honor to have met Wealthfront’s strict guidelines. This is a real validation of our philosophy and investment research.”

“Many investment advisors face a quandary with how to provide a scalable investment service for smaller clients. At CUSH Capital, we receive requests for investment advice and management from many individuals with smaller amounts to invest,” explained Vern Cushenbery. “By working with Wealthfront, we are now in a position to extend our wholesale investing approach and an outstanding user experience to people with as little as $10,000 and open a channel for investors to invest in our portfolios directly online.”
