About Us

The Fifty-Six Group is a state registered independent investment adviser, owned and operated by Marcus Crawshaw and Adam Crawshaw, whose mission is helping clients identify, plan, and achieve their retirement goals through objective investment planning, education and management services.

Our investment careers have spanned over 20 years.  The first 12 years managing an investment group, much like a hedge fund.  The following three years starting and running Crawshaw Capital Management that morphed into the Fifty-Six Group at the end of 2004.

After two decades of experience, we continue to manage our business and investments as we did for the 10 original members of our investment group in 1994 – by adding value for our clients achieving their investment goals over a long-term time horizon.


Today, our firm is grounded in the following fundamental beliefs:

*Independence - No conflicts of interest,

*Fee Only - We only receive compensation from the client perfectly aligning our interests,

*Transparency - We are an open book to our clients, and

*Goal Focused - Invest with a goal in mind..

These attributes form the foundation for a successful partnership between us, our partners, and our clients.
