Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at SHB Advisors?

Samir Bhatt, the founder and managing director, runs all investment decisions. He built his career at J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Highbridge Capital Management, and Markit Group before starting the firm in 2013. The firm's public materials do not name any additional investment professionals or committee members.

Does SHB Advisors offer commingled funds or only separately managed accounts?

SHB Advisors provides tailored portfolios structured around individual client goals rather than offering commingled fund products. The firm describes its approach as customized wealth management solutions across global markets without referencing any proprietary fund vehicles.

What is the firm's approach to alternative investments?

Alternatives form a core allocation in the firm's portfolios. The strategy includes hedge funds, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and commodities. Bhatt's own experience at Highbridge Capital — a multi-strategy hedge fund platform — and his background in commodity trading and structured credit inform that emphasis.

How is SHB Advisors structured from a regulatory standpoint?

Bhatt holds both Series 65 and Series 3 licenses, enabling the firm to operate as a registered investment advisor and commodity trading advisor. This dual-registration structure allows SHB Advisors to blend traditional financial advisory services with commodity-focused trading strategies within the same client relationship.
