About

Orion Capital Management LLC provides customized portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, retirement plans and other institutions, managing roughly $370 million for about 160 clients. The firm offers both ongoing advisory relationships and project-based planning engagements covering retirement, tax, estate, cash-flow and related planning topics.

Orion follows an active, fundamental-analysis approach to construct individualized portfolios and uses a broad set of instruments, including individual equities, fixed income, ETFs and, for accredited clients, options and short positions; option and other derivative strategies are part of some managed accounts. The firm also incorporates automated analytics and AI-supported tools into planning, reporting and modeling work, with human review and oversight of all outputs.

Noteworthy for a four-advisor team, Orion maintains a multi-office footprint and several niche practice sites and service lines (including defined-benefit plan and tax-strategy resources) that extend its capability beyond a single-location practice. The advisor team includes credentialed planners and investment professionals (CFA and CFP designees) and several staff with prior military special-operations experience, which are reflected in the firm’s staffing and service model.
