Pb Capital

PB Capital is a single-advisor, sole-proprietorship investment adviser that serves individual and high-net-worth clients with individualized asset management and portfolio monitoring across equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds and other public and private securities. The firm reports managing about $33.9 million on a non-discretionary basis for roughly 185 clients and does not accept discretionary authority over client accounts.

The firm’s investment approach draws on a wide range of analytical methods — including technical/charting, cyclical, fundamental, quantitative and qualitative analysis — and uses asset-allocation, fixed-income duration management, long- and short-term trading and options strategies. The brochure discloses the use of derivatives in separately managed accounts and describes continuous monitoring and periodic rebalancing to client targets; trades are implemented only with client authorization.

Notable differences from many peers are the predominance of non-discretionary AUM (the firm reports $0 in discretionary assets) and the explicit use of derivatives and option strategies in client accounts, both of which are relatively uncommon for solo independent advisors. The firm’s principal is also licensed as an insurance agent/broker and may offer insurance products for customary commissions, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest; account reviews are conducted at least quarterly.
