Berg Investment Planning is a sole proprietorship operated by Terren George Berg, offering investment management and advisory services primarily to former retail brokerage clients he has worked with for decades. Berg Investment Planning focuses on a select group of approximately 112 accounts, managing about $42.4 million in assets. The firm uses modern portfolio theory, asset allocation, fundamental analysis, exchange-traded funds, and technical analysis to help clients reach their financial goals. Berg Investment Planning generally does not solicit new clients and deals almost exclusively with existing relationships. The firm custodies client assets through Charles Schwab and does not accept upfront fee payments, billing clients in arrears after review and approval.
