What Budros, Ruhlin & Roe does

Budros, Ruhlin & Roe is a Columbus, Ohio-based wealth management and investment management firm founded in 1979, now operating under the DBA "Corient" as part of a larger integrated wealth platform. The firm serves high net worth individuals and families as its primary customer segment, with single and multi-family offices as a secondary segment, delivering services across Family Office Services (personal CFO, private aviation, global art management, philanthropy planning, lending, real estate, tax services), Wealth Strategy (wealth planning, wealth transfer, global fiduciary, family governance and succession), and Investment Management (including alternative investments).

The firm operates as a fee-only fiduciary partnership model with 300+ partners under a unified global P&L, reaching $508 billion in client assets as of June 2026. Headcount at the BRR office level is 51-100 employees, while the broader Corient platform spans 15+ jurisdictions across North America (US, Canada), Western Europe (UK, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Malta, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Liechtenstein), the Middle East (Israel), Africa (South Africa), and South Asia (Mauritius). Distribution is direct and partner-led, supported by a Client Portal for account access; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is likely based on AUM-based or hourly fee structures.

The business generates revenue primarily through fee-only wealth and investment management on client assets, supplemented by advisory fees across tax, estate, fiduciary, lending, and family-office structuring services. Core technology is not explicitly disclosed, and no AI/ML capabilities, patents, proprietary platforms, or third-party technology integrations are referenced in the source materials. The firm's strategic positioning is built around the fee-only fiduciary model (eliminating commission-based conflicts), integrated cross-service collaboration, and global reach to serve internationally-mobile multi-generational wealth.
