Praetorian Guard

Praetorian Guard operates exclusively on a fee-only basis, meaning it does not accept commissions or sell financial products. Its compensation comes directly from client fees, which the firm states aligns its interests with those of its client families. The firm is privately held and employee-owned, further distancing its advice from corporate or shareholder pressures.

Yes. The firm explicitly states that it works as a fiduciary for its clients, which legally obligates it to provide advice that is in the client's best interest. This is reinforced by its fee-only, employee-owned structure, which removes external ownership incentives and commission-based conflicts.

The firm positions itself as a central coordinator for a client family's outside professionals, including estate and tax advisors. It aims to serve as a single point of contact to integrate these services, freeing the client's time from managing multiple professional relationships.

The firm's name is derived from the elite imperial bodyguard of ancient Rome, formed by Caesar Augustus in 31 BC to protect the emperor and his family. Praetorian Guard uses this historical reference to convey its mission of protecting client wealth and family security.

No. Praetorian Guard does not publicly disclose its assets under management, the number of client families it serves, or the size of its advisory team on its website or other public channels.
