Our History
1971
The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC traces its roots back to 1971, when President Theodore Roosevelt’s cousin, P. James Roosevelt, started the investment firm P. James Roosevelt, Inc., focused on endowments and high-net-worth individuals. P. James Roosevelt’s earliest clients included several members of the Roosevelt family, Youngs Memorial Cemetery, where Teddy Roosevelt is buried, as well as the Theodore Roosevelt Association*
1993
In 1993, the firm changed its name to The Roosevelt Investment Group, Inc., and to this day we still embody the founding Roosevelt values of entrepreneurship, honesty, integrity, and leadership.
P. James Roosevelt believed these values were key to building a successful investment advisory firm. Given our years of successfully serving clients, The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC is proof he was right.
2002
Arthur Sheer shared P. James’s vision when Arthur founded Sheer Asset Management in 1990, embodying similar values of family strength, entrepreneurial spirit, and an unwavering commitment to risk management. As Roosevelt and Sheer were pursuing the same goals, their firms merged in 2002.
2007
The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC acquired Ehrlich Meyer Associates, adding a new Managing Director and Portfolio Manager to the Roosevelt team.
2018
The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC acquired Blueprint Financial Planning and Value Architects Asset Management.
2020
The clients and principal of Lombardi Wealth Advisors join The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC. In addition, the firm’s name is changed to The Roosevelt Investment Group, LLC after its acquisition by CI Financial Corp.
Present
Today, that firm is now called CI Roosevelt Private Wealth and continues to manage money for several members of the Roosevelt family and the Theodore Roosevelt Association*, as well as many other individuals, families, and various institutional clients. We also specialize in serving the funeral service profession, with over 50 years of experience working with funeral homes, cemeteries, and their owners and operators.
