Mt. Kisco, NY (PRWEB) April 18, 2007 -- Samalin Investment Counsel (SICounsel) today announced the opening of its first two locations. The firm is now headquartered in Mt. Kisco, NY with a satellite location in Manhattan.

SICounsel provides investment management, private investment structuring, second opinion services and investment policy statement development. Its structuring arm, SIC100, offers a unique investment syndicate platform for those who want to participate in privately developed alternative investment vehicles.

Andrew Samalin, president of SICounsel, drew from his 16 years of experience in managing clients' publicly traded assets as well as creating private investment instruments to add value to his clients- a rare commodity in today's mass-marketed advice landscape.

SICounsel is a SEC Registered Investment Advisor, which means they are enabled to solely represent the interests of their clients, and offers four distinct benefits over their sales-based competition:

A client-centric environment, to provide a limited number of well-resourced clients the necessary attention they require for the effective management of their financial affairs.

Integrated, holistic statement reporting that can include in-house and held-away assets, such as a workplace 401k, debt and equity real estate investments, artwork, other investment accounts, etc. - clients will enjoy knowing how their investments fit together without potential bias.

Asset class- agnostic portfolio management, which integrates both publicly-traded and privately developed investments managed within the client's portfolio on one statement.

A limited number of accredited investors can now benefit from opportunities that can potentially add both diversification and alpha to their portfolios.

Samalin explains, because SICounsel is a SEC Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), the allegiance is to the client: "This is reflected in our core business," Samalin said. "We take that responsibility seriously. Clients respond positively to the absence of bias when seeking financial counsel. Because clients value such a unique proposition, we are cognizant not to dilute our offering."

Samalin, a Katonah, NY resident, has been in practice since 1991 and has held the title of Senior Vice President-Investments at Morgan Stanley, Prudential and Wachovia Securities, managing assets in excess of $100 million. He received his undergraduate and masters degrees from New York University and is currently a doctoral candidate in management and economics from his studies at Fordham and Pace Universities.
