Capital Trust Wealth Management

Capital Trust Wealth Management is an independent, state-registered advisory firm that serves individuals, high-net-worth clients, families, trusts, estates, businesses, and charitable organizations with discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, financial planning, and consulting services. The firm charges asset-based advisory fees and emphasizes ongoing portfolio supervision for individual clients.

The firm constructs customized portfolios using a strategic asset-allocation framework and a proprietary methodology, drawing on technical, fundamental, cyclical, quantitative and qualitative analysis; it also lists the use of margin and options for hedging or tactical exposure when appropriate. Investment recommendations span mutual funds, ETFs, domestic and foreign equities, fixed income, alternative investments and hedge funds, and the firm may delegate portions of management to sub-managers and review client plans at least annually.

Notably for a single-advisor independent firm, it is affiliated with an entity that serves as general partner to a private limited partnership and provides advice to pooled/private funds, and it discloses the potential for negotiated fee arrangements for such pooled investments while not charging performance-based fees for standard client accounts. The firm’s ADV also discloses past regulatory and customer-related disclosure events involving its principal, which are reported in the brochure and relevant to prospective clients’ due diligence.
