Lipton Capital Management

The firm provides discretionary portfolio management to a small number of individual retail clients, including individual, joint, custodial and retirement accounts, and manages both fee-based and non-fee-based relationships. It operates as a solo independent adviser focused on helping clients pursue long-term growth objectives.

Investment decisions are driven by fundamental analysis and a stated "Keep It Simple" approach, with a preference for long-term holdings and consideration of each client's liquidity needs. Portfolios are constructed from a limited set of instruments—common and preferred stocks, government and municipal bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, money market funds, exchange-traded limited partnerships—and the firm commonly uses options strategies (covered calls, selling puts, and buying puts for hedging).

Notably, the firm discloses that it has custody-related arrangements—client assets are held at Interactive Brokers and the firm arranges fee withdrawals directly from client accounts—which is uncommon among peers. The principal regularly holds the same securities as clients and actively employs options in client portfolios; the firm is a single-advisor practice with a small, long-term oriented client base and has disclosed prior outside business activities.
