Important Note: Equity Risk Sciences (ERS) is not an investment advisor, broker, or fund manager.
We do not manage money, solicit investment accounts, or recommend specific stocks or funds.

ERS is an independent investment research, data analytics and AI firm serving lawyers and fiduciaries. We provide objective, data-driven evaluations of investment risks—helping you understand the financial dangers your advisor may not have disclosed, and offering tools to protect both your own capital and that of your clients.

At Equity Risk Sciences, we provide two very different and critically important ways lawyers benefit from our services—
and both are rooted in protecting capital with science, not speculation.

1. Protecting Your Own Wealth

If you’re a lawyer with assets in a 401(k), IRA, pension plan, trust, or personal investment account, you likely rely on fiduciaries—RIAs, bank trust departments, or institutional managers—to help protect and grow your capital. But when those entrusted with managing your wealth make poor decisions or fail to properly evaluate risk, it’s your money that bears the consequences—while they typically face little or no accountability.

Do these advisors truly measure and manage investment risk the way a trained professional—such as an engineer or actuary—would? Do they calculate the potential for loss before recommending a stock or fund? Do they warn you when the probability of loss outweighs the chance of gain?

In our experience, the answer is no.

Worse, there are institutional and irreconcilable conflicts of interest between investment advisors and their clients—conflicts that are rarely, if ever, disclosed with the honesty and clarity fiduciaries owe their clients. The unfortunate reality is this: the more you invest and the riskier the assets, the more they earn in fees. Their business model does not meaningfully penalize them for failure to preserve capital.

If advisors were required to fully and plainly disclose the risks of every stock they recommend—and the real probability of loss—it would undermine their business model. ERS feels a professional and ethical obligation to disclose these conflicts and explain what your advisor isn’t telling you. Because in many cases, what’s not being said puts your capital at great risk.

At ERS, we don’t believe most money managers use risk-adjusted return metrics or evaluate downside risk with scientific rigor. Instead, we analyze risk the way engineers assess bridges and planes—methodically, mathematically, and always with worst-case scenarios in mind.

We give you the power to:

• Craft investment agreements that define exactly how much risk and loss you’re willing to tolerate
• Understand what percentage of your portfolio is invested in:
  • Companies with no earnings
  • Companies with dangerously high P/E ratios
  • Companies that must issue more stock just to survive
  • Firms with liabilities far greater than equity
• See past the sales pitch and evaluate your holdings using real data and historical valuation norms

If your advisor hasn’t shown you the downside risks of stocks like Tesla, NVIDIA, or Netflix—just as advisors failed to warn investors about Microsoft, Cisco, and GE in 2000—then you’ve been left vulnerable.

2. Helping Clients Who’ve Lost Money

If your clients have suffered investment losses, ERS can help. We provide attorneys with:

• Expert testimony and forensic investment analysis
• Detailed data showing risks that were known—or should have been known—before the investments were made
• Independent evaluations that demonstrate when and how fiduciaries may have failed in their duty

Our proprietary research platform analyzes more than 15,000 companies using decades of data to detect warning signs that most advisors miss—or never even look for.
