About

Capital Investment Advisors, LLC serves individual investors (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and retirement plans, providing discretionary portfolio management, integrated financial planning and a Capital Family Office division for more complex, multi‑generational needs. Like many enterprise advisers, the firm delivers ongoing portfolio oversight and typically charges percentage‑of‑AUM fees for its managed accounts.

The firm employs a centralized, structured portfolio management approach that includes model ETF portfolios for smaller households, modular “sleeves” for targeted asset allocations, and the use of third‑party outside managers for specialized strategies such as active bond management or direct indexing. CIA also offers access to private investments via platforms and affiliates (iCapital, Altera Private Access, Sardis Group and Delaware Statutory Trusts) and incorporates estate‑planning education and tax coordination into its client work.

Noteworthy distinctions include an affiliated tax division, Capital Accounting & Tax, LLC, and operational ties to private‑fund affiliates (Altera Private Access and Sardis), which the brochure discloses can create conflicts when those affiliate solutions are recommended. The firm also provides pension consulting and ERISA fiduciary services with an American Trust relationship for qualified plans and maintains an in‑house Estate Planning Strategist (a former practicing attorney in a non‑legal capacity), features that are less common among enterprise peers.
