Métier Capital | Investment Advisory Services Company
Commitment to Excellence

Our journey began with a simple, yet, powerful realization: it’s exceedingly difficult to achieve excellence when we spread ourselves too thin.  Many independent advisors struggle with the complexities of running their business, while also providing exceptional client service amidst the ever-changing financial markets.  Our investment professionals dedicate themselves to helping you navigate the markets so that you can invest more of your time and resources into providing the excellent service your clients have come to expect.

Habibe Hakiqi

Founder & CEO
Rochester, New York

Education

About

Habibe established Métier following a fourteen-year tenure in asset management, including positions as a Senior Equity Research Analyst and Portfolio Manager. The concept for Métier emerged during extensive research into the RIA landscape, revealing a common plateau among financial advisors upon reaching $100M in AUM. Recognizing this gap, Habibe identified a demand for fractional CIO services for independent advisors. The idea gained traction soon after, with three sizable RIA firms signing up for the service before the official launch of the company.

Habibe guides investment decisions for multiple RIA firms across the nation and directly manages assets for other clients.

Area of Expertise

Habibe pairs her contrarian investment style with a disciplined process that targets risk-adjusted returns. Her skillsets include analyzing & interpreting macroeconomic factors and using these predictions to steer asset allocation and portfolio construction.

Education

About

Brian joined Métier because he believed in Habibe’s vision for how planning-focused advisors could benefit from having greater access to experienced investment professionals. Prior to Métier, he spent the first 17 years of his career on the investment team for a midsize asset manager. This experience taught him the importance of balancing a disciplined process with a pragmatic approach to the markets.

After shifting into a consulting role at a public accounting firm, Brian quickly realized that his time and talent would be better spent helping others navigate the investment landscape. Brian is a CFA charterholder and has also earned the CIPM designation.

Area of Expertise

Brian always seeks to maintain a flexible, independent, mindset toward the markets and portfolio construction. He is comfortable digging into the details on a business or zooming out to forecast the direction of major economic drivers.

Our Investment Philosophy

We believe a disciplined, pragmatic, approach toward asset allocation is paramount for generating excess returns over time. We take a deliberate and thoughtful approach to investing your assets with risk mitigation being at the forefront of our strategic considerations.
