Principals

Personal service is the hallmark of client relationships at McRae Capital Management.

Yet, as important as personal service is, it has to be backed with substance. Our principals draw on years of experience in the investment industry as well as advanced degrees and industry certifications. Our staff averages 15 years with McRae, meaning that turnover is extremely low and continuity extremely high. And, just as we get to know our clients well, they also get to know us very well. Pictured (left to right) are Rod, Peter and Roddy McRae.
