Goalen Capital Advisors, LLC

Goalen Capital Advisors is a small, state‑registered investment adviser that works with individuals, trusts, foundations and retirement plans, and also offers retirement‑plan consulting for businesses. Services include discretionary investment management, comprehensive financial planning, and advice across separately managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and, when appropriate, private investment funds.

The firm builds allocations around each client’s goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, using historical return and maximum drawdown data to place clients into tailored or model portfolios and generally seeks to limit trading to reduce transaction costs and tax burdens. Accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis with quarterly (or more frequent) reviews, and when private investment funds are included the firm relies on sponsor‑provided valuations when reflecting those holdings on reports and for fee purposes.

Distinctive features relative to peers include a single‑advisor ownership structure managing roughly $87 million in assets while maintaining no stated account minimums, and a blended fee schedule the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest versus breakpoint schedules. The firm does not perform proxy voting (clients retain voting authority), receives custodial support from custodians such as Charles Schwab, and engages third‑party solicitors including participation in an advisor referral network.
