About

MBIA Capital Advisors provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and financial planning to a broad client base that includes individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, foundations, retirement accounts and business entities. The firm also offers sub‑advisory services to other advisers and manages client assets through both wrap‑fee and non‑wrap fee arrangements.

Investment decisions are based on fundamental analysis of companies, industries and macroeconomic trends, with a noted emphasis on dividend growth and corporate bond evaluation; portfolios typically blend large‑cap value exposure with multi‑cap growth and momentum strategies and may include covered‑call option writing and structured products. The firm uses both public and proprietary research and engages independent third‑party managers for portions of client assets (for example, ZEGA Financial) when appropriate.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is the operational affiliation with certified public accounting practices whose principals provide tax planning and preparation services primarily during tax season, and the related offering of insurance services through affiliated entities. MBIA’s role as a wrap fee program sponsor for assets managed by third‑party managers, combined with its sub‑advisory activities, is also less common among teams of similar size.
