ABOUT US
R. H. Dinel Investment Counsel, Inc. (“RHDIC”) was established in West Los Angeles in 1992 by Richard H. Dinel (“Dick”) and Joyce K. Dinel.
Dick is a graduate of Stanford Law School. Prior to forming RHDIC, he was a partner in a large Los Angeles law firm where he devoted most of his attention to securities law. This was natural for him as he grew up in a household which was interested in securities. (His father was in the securities business in Los Angeles from 1924 to 1968.) Dick bought his first stock when he was nine.
Joyce was a trust officer in the Beverly Hills District Trust Office of a large California based bank. In this position she acquired substantial experience helping families in various circumstances conserve and deploy their wealth.
RHDIC provides discretionary management of securities portfolios for approximately 30 high net worth clients and their families. The average tenure of clients we currently serve is over 15 years. We are honored that many of our clients, and now the second generations of their families, entrust us to manage all or a large portion of their liquid assets.
We begin each potential client encounter with an in-depth interview about the client’s financial affairs and goals. Based upon this interview we develop a detailed investment policy customized to their particular circumstances and needs.
Within this customization we place primary emphasis on common stocks, supplemented as necessary with government, corporate or municipal bonds. We believe the best investment results are achieved by spending the majority of our efforts on identifying industries which are poised to do well and companies with excellent prospects within those industries. We seek to invest for the very long term (our favorite holding period is “forever”).
Each portfolio requires ongoing attention as the prospects and emerging prospects of industries and companies change. The client’s needs may also evolve.
We have found the 30 years we spent building RHDIC highly rewarding as we take great pride in having helped our clients and their families achieve their unique financial goals.
