About Commons Capital
We're Accessible. We're Quirky. We're Intense.
Commons Capital is an independent, boutique private wealth management firm delivering an extraordinary multi-family office experience. Founded in 2009, the firm is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts and maintains an office in New York City.
We have created a dynamic organization offering effective, flexible, and visionary financial services to a select client base, transcending the capabilities and limitations of traditional firms.
We were established on the belief that we can greatly improve on the traditional Wall Street relationship. While economies of scale may substantially benefit financial institutions, they also create potential costs in the form of conflicts of interest. Our independence frees us from those biases and allows us to focus on what is important — you.
We work across continents and across cultures, calling upon all that our distinctive team has learned and has lived, to create innovative and decisive possibilities with the certainty of action.

What We Stand For
Act in the best interest of the client
We provide advice and recommendations that are only in the client's best interest by following a fiduciary standard of care. We do this because it is proper, ethical and right. All of the following principles are consistent with this philosophy and our way of conducting business.
Focus on professional advice, not on products
We are client-centric, which means we focus on delivering sound advice and targeted solutions, not on selling financial products. The only incentive we have in offering particular solutions is whether the client's best interest will be served.
Deliver attentive, individualized service
We provide a high level of personal attention. We make a point of getting to know each client and learning what is important to him or her. Developing personalized insight is key to providing appropriate advice and services.
Provide full and transparent disclosure
Our private wealth management services and fees are fully disclosed and clearly explained. We give answers in plain English, with whatever level of detail the client seeks.
Practice what we preach
We invest our personal and firm assets based on the same set of investment principles and using the same or comparable securities that we recommend to our clients.
We strive to be leaders in environmental stewardship and have implemented specific steps to reach our goal of becoming a net-zero organization. We are a long-established limited liability corporation and we recognize the importance of making every effort possible to have minimal impact in our day-to-day operations.
We support innovative strategic programs and partnerships that help make our communities better, stronger, and more vibrant places in which to live, work, and conduct business. We invest in areas that promote community well-being from providing food and shelter, conserving natural resources and minimizing our impact on the environment, improving education and encouraging arts and creativity.
We believe that good business means more than just strong financial performance and superb operations. At Commons Capital, everything begins with a commitment to the highest ethical standards. By doing the right thing and operating with integrity and transparency, we build and maintain credibility and trust with our clients, advisors, vendors, partners, and the community.
We are committed to creating a work environment in which advisors continually demonstrate respect for opinions, attitudes, attributes and feelings of anyone with whom they come in contact with during their daily work. We provide a workplace free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. We offer exciting opportunities for professional growth. We encourage everyone to find a balance between their personal and professional lives and give back to the communities where they work and live.
