Mill Creek Capital Advisors Seal

Our values appreciate yours.

Who We Are

Advising with integrity since 2006.

In an industry where expertise is the price of entry and objectivity a distinct advantage, trust must be earned. At Mill Creek, we think advising with unyielding integrity and diligent stewardship of clients’ money creates enduring trust. We honor that trust with an unrelenting commitment to always do what’s right for our clients.

Mill Creek was founded in 2006 with a determination to provide customized advice to help clients achieve their financial goals. Today, we serve more than 300 families and institutions as an independent, fully staffed investment office, managing $9.5 billion of assets on their behalf.

Whatever your financial goals, Mill Creek professionals have the right expertise to partner with you. We deliver high-touch, individualized advisory services from offices in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Naples.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Prudent risk-taking is at the core of how Mill Creek stewards clients’ investment capital. We marry financial market insights with investment programs designed best to meet each client’s particular risk and return requirements. We keep clients well-informed about recent global capital market trends and explain how current developments may affect their portfolios and their financial security. And with compensation based entirely on client-paid fees, clients are assured that the advice they receive is based solely on an informed judgment of what will best meet their financial needs.

Our independence means that there are no restrictions on the investment managers, strategies, or products that we can evaluate on behalf of our clients. Our scale means that we can achieve superior pricing for clients and gain access on their behalf to strategies and managers that are unavailable to some other advisory firms.

We have always believed that broad diversification across and within asset classes is the most important ingredient of investment success and that success comes from taking a long-term view of markets and portfolio returns rather than trading into and out of different market segments in pursuit of only potentially superior short-run results.

Our People

Great advice comes from good people.

At Mill Creek, success for our clients is the result of a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude by respected industry veterans and intellectually curious younger problem-solvers alike. We honor clients’ trust in our capabilities and in our integrity with our hands-on, team-based approach to providing them with customized investment and financial advice.

Recognition

Our success is deeply rooted in our dedication to our clients.

At Mill Creek, we strive to always do right by our clients. We are fueled by our mission to provide peace of mind and exemplary service. We are honored to receive industry recognition for our ongoing dedication.

    What Does the Federal Reserve Have to Say About Private Credit?

    Back in November 2023, US Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Jack Reed (D-RI) sent a letter to Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michael Barr, FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg, and Acting Comptroller Michael Hsu, requesting them to assess private credit and potential risks posed to banks and the US financial system. The letter was prompted by the industry’s rapid growth over the past several years and the expanding role of private lenders in the domestic funding markets.
