Midas Capital Management

Midas Capital Management provides ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and pension consulting services to individual clients and, unusually for firms in this category, to pension/profit-sharing plans and corporate or business entities. The firm documents client goals, time horizon and risk tolerance in an Investment Policy Statement and offers plan-level consulting services for employee benefit plans (including recommending money managers, monitoring investment options, and creating written pension consulting plans).

The firm tailors portfolios to each client’s objectives and typically seeks discretionary authority to implement the agreed plan. Its investment process draws on cyclical, fundamental, modern portfolio theory, quantitative and technical analysis and can combine traditional long‑term allocations with margin and options strategies and use of ETFs (including precious‑metal ETFs), REITs, private placements, venture capital and non‑U.S. securities.

Noteworthy aspects include the firm’s active provision of pension consulting and corporate plan services despite a modest asset base and small client roster, a set of services that is statistically uncommon among independent advisers. The firm requires clients to use a specific custodian platform (LPL Financial), receives custodial support and research benefits, and discloses that supervised persons may accept compensation for the sale of investment products and that it does not aggregate trades across multiple client accounts—items clients should consider with respect to potential conflicts of interest and execution practices.
