JY Capital Management

The firm provides fee-based investment advisory services focused on customized portfolio management for individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, managing about $39.1 million in discretionary assets across 77 client accounts. Services are primarily delivered on a discretionary basis (with non-discretionary management available by request), and the firm does not act as custodian aside from authorized fee deductions.

Its investment approach is a tactical allocation strategy aimed at reducing risk and improving performance, using fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis as appropriate. The firm employs a broad set of instruments — including exchange-listed securities, corporate and government debt, options, short sales and margin — and tailors allocations, cash positions and specific stock selections to client objectives and risk tolerances.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its client mix and operational choices: the brochure indicates the advisor serves charitable organizations and a notable portion of non-U.S. clients, and it recommends Interactive Brokers as the qualified custodian. The principal’s background outside of traditional financial services and the explicit use of option-writing, short-selling and margin trading in a small, single-advisor practice are atypical features relative to many independent advisors.
