Robinson Crothers

Robinson Crothers is a Financial Advisor and Managing Partner at Great South Bay Advisors, a family-run wealth management firm based in Holbrook, New York. With over 10 years of experience, he works closely with his father to guide clients through portfolio design and long-term planning. He graduated with a Finance degree from the Mario Gabelli School of Business at Roger Williams University, where he was also a member of the university’s wrestling team. Raised in Patchogue, New York, on Long Island, he grew up around the financial advisory profession. Over nearly a decade, he gained practical experience in portfolio management, client relationships, and long-term Financial Planning. After earning his degree, he worked as a Consultant in the Institutional Investment space, advising Pensions, Endowments, and Family Offices on constructing portfolios that included Private Equity, Hedge Funds, and other Alternative Investments. He then joined the family business, building on almost 10 years of hands-on experience managing client assets. The firm represents more than 50 years of combined family experience and rebranded from American Portfolios to Great South Bay Advisors in January 2025. As a fiduciary, he is committed to placing client interests first and providing advice free from proprietary product influence. His focus includes financial planning, retirement income strategies, and long-term investment management. He addresses return sequence risk by balancing equities and fixed-income investments to help protect retirement income during market volatility. Robinson's equity strategy compares dividend-paying stocks with growth-oriented companies, aiming for risk-adjusted returns while protecting capital during downturns. In taxable accounts, he emphasizes fixed income and municipal bonds. He also monitors long-term themes, including industrial innovation, semiconductor equipment, energy production and storage, and defense spending.
