Strengthening Our Clients' FInancial Lives

​A word from Bob Centrella, CFA and Managing Partner:

"I'm proud of my Italian heritage and have taken my company name from the battle cry of the Italian National team - Forza Azzuri!"

The word "FORZA" in the Italian language means strength.  For us at Forza that especially means strength of the relationship with our clients and for our clients the strength and soundness of the financial advice they will receive from us.  Our goal is to develop strong partnerships with our clients based on sound financial advice and a trusting relationship. 

FORZA - our strength is our experience.

​The Forza Difference

Forza differentiates itself through its value-added business model. We bring institutional-quality money management to all our clients.  We ask you to consider trading in your mutual funds for our customized institutional-class portfolio management.  Here's what we bring to the table:
 
1. Investment Experience - Experience is crucial in today’s volatile financial environment. Our investment professional spent the past 35+ years in the financial services industry including a 30+ year history managing billions of dollars as a mutual fund manager and as an Institutional and private client investment manager. This experience as a professional money manager is what differentiates Forza from most advisors.

2. Ethics & Compliance - Forza follows a strict code of ethics and our investment manager holds a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation and adheres to the CFA® code of ethics as well.  The firm has a clean compliance record and as an RIA we take the fiduciary pledge to act as fiduciary for all of our clients.  Forza is registered in the State of New Jersey as an RIA.

3.Flexible and Customizable Investment Strategy – We customize an asset allocation across various asset classes for each client based on our disciplined investment process. At the core of each asset allocation is a diversified equity portfolio comprised of individual securities as constructed by our investment manager through our disciplined process.

4. Superior Customer Service – Great service is one of our founding core principles. We know that clients want access to their advisor and we will be sure to be available and to communicate regularly as we form a partnership with a goal of making your life easier. At Forza, your advisor IS the money manager and you get direct access to your investment manager, not an intermediary. 

5. Transparency and Competitive Fee Structure – Our fee is based on assets under management, so our incentives are aligned with our client's best interest. Our fees are below the average Mutual Fund fee.  We do not take custody of client assets, so assets are always safe and secure at a 3rd party custodian. Our clients always have immediate access to information on holdings, transactions and asset allocation and know what they own.
