About

Croak Capital (doing business as Croak Asset Management) provides investment advisory services to individuals (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and businesses, managing approximately $363.9 million on behalf of about 780 clients and supported by a six‑advisor team. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, pension consulting, and held‑away account services using the Pontera aggregation platform.

Advisors employ a mix of fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analysis alongside modern portfolio theory and model portfolios that range from conservative to aggressive, and may utilize strategies including long‑ and short‑term trades, option writing, direct indexing, structured notes, REITs, and Delaware Statutory Trusts. Croak sponsors a wrap fee program (with transaction execution through Schwab) and has been transitioning clients into that wrap program since January 2022 while providing ongoing asset‑allocation review, rebalancing, and implementation for both custodial and held‑away assets.

The brochure discloses firm affiliations with CAM Tax, LLC (an accounting firm) and CAM Insurance, LLC, noting that certain associated persons are owners or directors of the accounting firm and that affiliated insurance and broker‑dealer relationships may give rise to additional compensation arrangements and conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses the use of client testimonials in its advertising and that some advisory personnel are registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, features that are less common among comparable team firms and are addressed in its disclosure and conflict‑management practices.
