Firestorm Capital

Firestorm Capital serves a very small, primarily private client group that includes family assets and a limited number of professional investors such as hedge funds and family offices. The firm provides portfolio management for its own accounts and offers research and consulting services to select external clients through written communications and calls.

The firm pursues an active, unconstrained trading approach that can include concentrated positions, options, short sales, derivative strategies, margin/leverage and an explicit inflation or currency‑debasement thesis that often involves gold exposure; it uses prime brokerage relationships and acknowledges relatively high portfolio turnover and transaction costs. Research is delivered periodically to outside clients and Firestorm may allocate investment opportunities among internal and external accounts while utilizing soft‑dollar arrangements for brokerage and research.

Distinctive features relative to peers include an uncommon fee and communication model: the firm relies on subscription- or research‑fee arrangements and periodic written research rather than the more typical percentage‑of‑AUM billing. The firm also returned outside capital to focus on managing its own accounts and nonprofit activities, retains broad discretionary authority over trading, and has no stated succession plan, concentrating decision‑making in its principal.
