Company Background
Dorian Eason Asset Management is a Registered Investment Adviser founded by individuals dedicated to
fulfilling the principles of sound judgment, skillful research, successful relationships, and client satisfaction.
Founded in 2001, Dorian Eason Asset Management seeks to provide high-quality investment management
services to individuals, endowment funds, institutions, trusts, corporations, and retirement plans. Our approach
to successful investing, refined over more than twenty-five years as professional investors, is based on a
philosophy that recognizes the importance of asset allocation in combination with individual security analysis
and selection. This philosophy is a key element in our investment process.
The investment philosophy we follow, and the clients who have retained our services, have an extensive history.
Tom Dorian and Bob Eason bring a combined total of 84 years of investment experience to the clients of our
firm. During most of their careers, Tom and Bob have worked together to fulfill the needs of their clients. At
First Tennessee Investment Management, in the early 1980’s, Tom and Bob worked primarily with fixed income
and cash management accounts, as well as with the Trust Committee of the First Tennessee Trust Division.
During the late 1980’s, Tom and Bob were reunited at Front Street Capital Management, where they managed
the entire asset base of the Union Planters Bank Trust Division. When they left Union Planters in 1996, Tom and
Bob were responsible for individually managed accounts, common trust funds, the Tennessee Tax-Free Bond
mutual fund, and all Trust assets in six southeastern states.
In 1996, Gintel Asset Management hired Tom and Bob to open an office for the firm in Memphis. We were
honored by the long-time clients who decided to move their account relationships to our new firm. Over the
succeeding five years, we built a significant business of individual and institutional clients who are pleased with
the client-specific approach we take to managing their assets.
Effective September 1, 2001, Dorian Eason Asset Management, LLC, 100%
owned by Tom and Bob, acquired
the Memphis office of Gintel Asset Management, Inc. All of the clients of the Memphis office of Gintel
consented to become clients of the new firm. As of December 31, 2023, we manage approximately $439,593 in
client assets on a discretionary basis.
Tom and Bob focus on building successful client relationships. We want to know our clients very well, and we
want them to know us also. We believe this is an important reason for our success in attracting and retaining a
loyal client base over the course of our careers.
We work with our clients to help them define their investment objectives and their performance expectations. To
achieve those client objectives, we conduct careful research on individual stocks, bonds, and mutual funds so we
can make meaningful investments in those securities for each portfolio, based on each client’s needs and
circumstances. We also provide an array of fixed income portfolio management options. Complete portfolio
management of US Treasury, US Agency, investment-grade corporate, and tax-free municipal securities is
available to the clients of Dorian Eason Asset Management. Our asset allocation portfolio management service is
designed for clients who need help with their entire portfolio management structure. We use a variety of tools
and techniques to design a complete investment management program tailored to each individual client's needs
and objectives. Clients who wish to impose restrictions on certain securities or security types in their portfolios
should inform us of their wishes at the beginning of the relationship so we can determine together if those desires
are appropriate within our portfolio management framework.
In preparation for an exciting future of service to our clients, Dorian Eason Asset Management is poised to offer
a complete range of investment management services, including Equity, Short-term and Long-term Fixed
Income, and Asset Allocation Accounts. The expertise and experience of our principals is deep and varied. We
are committed to helping our clients identify and solve their investment management needs.
