WHO WE ARE
Cenacle Partners manages investments and offers financial guidance to individuals, families, and charitable institutions.
Originally founded as an advisory to our partners and their families, we have always managed our own capital alongside our clients. Over the years, our mandates have included individuals, families, and the faith institutions close to us, including churches, seminaries, temples, and non-profit charities.
We believe in long-term investment combined with opportunist portfolios to provide growth, income, and balance unique to the needs of each client. We created systems to monitor and manage those portfolios, controlling risk and limiting investment to those areas where we see promise, believing the investment you avoid is as important as the investment you commit to.
