About

Davis Capital Management serves individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as institutional clients such as corporate retirement plans, trusts, foundations, and pension or profit‑sharing plans. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and qualified plan consulting, including acting as a Section 3(38) investment manager for participant‑directed 401(k) plans.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes capital preservation through diversified, disciplined active management, combining top‑down sector weighting with bottom‑up security selection and explicit position and sector limits (no sector greater than 25% and no individual security greater than 3%), with equity portfolios typically holding 35–45 positions or using ETFs for smaller accounts. Davis Capital tailors advice through one‑on‑one interviews and questionnaires, and it includes comprehensive financial planning for clients with at least $100,000 under management.

Noteworthy for a team firm, Davis Capital provides investment education and guidance to plan participants and conducts seminars/workshops as part of its qualified plan services. The firm also notes a general avoidance of mutual funds due to expense‑ratio concerns, leverages third‑party administrative platforms (e.g., Advent) for reporting and operations, and operates on a fee‑only basis while serving in a fiduciary role for retirement plans.
