Calabash Asset Management, LLC

The firm provides discretionary investment management, wealth management and financial planning to individual and high-net-worth clients, pension/profit-sharing plans and select institutional investors, and also serves as the investment manager to a private pooled vehicle formed in 2023. It manages a small number of separately managed accounts and reports modest regulatory assets under management, reflecting a boutique, hands-on client base.

The adviser’s investment process emphasizes long-term growth exposure to what it terms “Exponential Growth Companies,” offering five model strategies (large-, mid-, small-cap growth, low-volatility, and international) and constructing benchmark‑agnostic portfolios generally targeting up to 70–75 holdings with modest initial position sizes. For its pooled vehicle the firm implements a combined quantitative and qualitative, long/short, low‑volatility U.S. equities approach that may employ derivatives and leverage, and it distributes investment guidance via a proprietary online interactive platform and model-driven portfolio implementations.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that, despite its small scale and solo-practitioner structure, it acts as a fund sponsor and private fund adviser and provides portfolio management for pooled and institutional mandates — activities that are uncommon for independent advisors of this size. The firm also participates in an institutional custody/execution platform that supplies software, operational support and educational events, and the principal concurrently holds a substantive corporate role outside the advisory business, a factor prospective clients may consider with respect to adviser availability and capacity.
