Arcataur Capital Management LLC

Arcataur Capital Management provides discretionary investment management and ongoing financial advice to individuals, trusts, pension plans, foundations and other institutional and nonprofit clients. The firm serves both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth individuals and charges advisory fees based on a percentage of assets under management.

The firm’s investment process is top‑down, blending economic, fundamental and technical analysis to construct separately managed Large‑Cap/Diversified Equity, Investment‑Grade Fixed Income, and Managed Balance portfolios; equity selections tend to emphasize high‑quality companies (generally market caps above $10 billion) while fixed‑income portfolios target an average A credit rating. Arcataur uses broad index ETFs to achieve diversification and to support smaller accounts, and it manages trading centrally with trade aggregation and external pricing checks to inform valuation and execution.

Compared with many peers, Arcataur explicitly accommodates smaller retail accounts through ETF‑based solutions rather than only direct equity mandates, and the firm retains operational controls such as pre‑approval of employee personal trades, a prohibition on employees participating in IPOs, and routine comparison of custodian prices to independent pricing services with investigation of material variances. The firm also discloses potential conflicts from dual internal roles in investment and compliance oversight and leaves proxy voting to clients rather than voting proxies on their behalf.
