Aureus Asset Management

Unlike coins of lesser worth, the Aureus was intrinsically valuable, made of gold itself. As the most desirable currency of ancient Rome, it was rare, infrequently struck, and reserved for storage of significant wealth.

Today, Aureus combines respect for the traditions of wealth management with a contemporary investment philosophy, creating a dynamic approach to investing and wealth counsel that is intelligent, aligned, and assured.
