About us
Boardwalk Capital Management is an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. The
firm was founded in 2009 by B. Scott Sadler CFA, a 25+ year veteran of the investment industry and former international
mutual fund manager.
Boardwalk is a Certified B Corporation, meaning that we incorporate a “triple bottom line” (people, planet, profit) into
everything we do.
Our mission is to manage portfolios for investors who want to connect their assets with their values and their
personal brand – without sacrificing financial returns.
Experienced wealth management, with social impact
Boardwalk Capital Management brings together
traditional disciplines of investment management and
wealth planning with a social impact implementation.
Our principals have decades of experience in private
banking, real estate, private equity, investment
banking, hedge funds and mutual funds management.
We bring that perspective, and many market cycles, to
each client relationship. We also bring unique expertise
in social impact and sustainable investing, enabling us
to tailor each client’ investments to their specific
values.
As a Registered Investment Advisor, Boardwalk Capital
proudly accepts its role as a fiduciary in the careful
management of your wealth. We are also governed by
our own Code of Ethics, and those of the CFA Institute,
charging us to act with integrity and transparency,
always placing client interests first.
Investment Strategy
Each client has a unique set of needs and objectives. So, we work diligently to understand these fully for each engagement.
Using both quantitative and qualitative analyses, we create for each client a custom-tailored investment program that is
designed to achieve their financial objectives with the lowest possible volatility. This strategic portfolio is the “core”
allocation that we then tailor to meet the client’s social aims. In this implementation phase, we add both tactical and
satellite investments to exploit short-term market opportunities and trends.
Management costs and taxes greatly impact client returns over time, so our investment process emphasizes the superior
structure of low-cost ETFs and index vehicles to implement a highly-diversified global portfolio strategy.
For larger relationships, Boardwalk-managed equity portfolios permit a greater degree of customization. All portfolios are
low turnover and are managed in a tax-sensitive manner. We favor companies who are sustainability leaders versus their
peers, believing strongly that this predicts future prosperity. Each holding must also meet strict financial strength criteria in
order to provide a greater margin of safety in economic downturns. Portfolios are constructed to mirror the sector and
country exposures of the underlying index, ensuring that the performance will be consistent with broader market returns.

sectors, industries and countries, delivering a better footprint and competitive performance.
