About Us

Our Clients

Our clients consist of CEO's, CFO's, COO's, directors of HR and any person that is directly or indirectly involved as a fiduciary of their company's employer sponsored retirement plan. Most of our clients hire our firm because they have become dissatisfied with being thrown into an advisor’s monthly quota pool where they are seen as a ticket to the advisor’s personal financial goals and the firm’s monthly targets and, once sold on a product, are then forgotten about in lieu of their advisor’s quest for the next deal. Contrary to this retail approach, we specifically seek to limit the number of our exclusive clientele so that we can truly focus on a comprehensive and long term relationship as co-fiduciary.

Moreover, we seek clients who are looking for this high touch approach; clients who are looking to become part of an elite class with exclusive access to the personalized and unique attention which is Della Parola Capital Research's hallmark of service.

Our Culture

Our client environment is built upon a high level of trust and disclosure; honesty, candor, truth and objectivity. We are committed to a dogged tirelessness and determination keenly focused on producing the results our fiduciary clients demand. We seek to imbue our clients with the utmost in supreme confidence so that they can go about doing what they do best: running their businesses.
