Ares-Bound Capital

Ares-Bound Capital provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services to individual investors, select high‑net‑worth clients, and small businesses, addressing retirement, estate, education funding and cash‑flow objectives. The firm manages client portfolios across a broad set of securities including equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, UITs, treasuries and options.

The firm’s investment process combines tactical asset allocation, sector rotation, dividend‑discount modeling and Monte Carlo simulation to construct client portfolios, with monthly account reviews and annual meetings to monitor alignment with client objectives. Ares‑Bound may implement covered option strategies and, with client consent, use margin or short‑sale authority; it aggregates orders into block trades and relies on custodian-provided execution and research services.

Compared with many small independent advisors, the firm pairs relatively sophisticated quantitative methods and derivatives/margin usage with a modest asset base and a small client roster, and the principal discloses outside employment in corporate finance and an unrelated entertainment business with written conflict‑mitigation measures (including restrictions on trading the employer’s securities). The firm also debits advisory fees directly from client accounts (constructive custody), maintains proxy‑voting authority for managed accounts, and documents policies to address related conflicts.
