History
Founded in 1991, by Charles E. “Ted” Herget and Al Morrison, ASC launched as one of Maryland’s earliest institutional investment consulting firms, serving philanthropic institutions, corporations, and faith-based organizations.
In our first two decades, the firm expanded with the addition of regional offices in Boston, Harrisburg, and Raleigh/Durham. Responding to our clients’ needs, ASC broadened its services to include qualified retirement plans, outsourced investment office, and private wealth.
The last five years have been an exciting chapter at ASC. Our Institutional Consulting business remains robust. The Outsourced Investment Office and Private Wealth solutions are two initiatives that have seen substantial capital investment. The firm remains committed to its client-first, conflict-free mandate, and the next 30 years should be no different.
