About

Pointe Capital Management serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, trusts and select institutional accounts with discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and ERISA fiduciary retirement-plan advising. The firm operates as a fee-only fiduciary investment adviser and does not provide financial planning or consultation services (consultation services were discontinued in a recent update).

The firm’s investment process emphasizes long-term, fundamentally driven equity selection—most notably a Large Cap Value strategy that uses a proprietary sector-specific valuation model to build concentrated portfolios of roughly 35–45 large-cap positions—combined with diversified asset-allocation strategies that may include ETFs, fixed income, MLPs and other publicly traded instruments. In managing separately managed accounts, the adviser may use derivatives, options-writing and margin/borrowing strategies as part of its toolkit, an approach that is less common among comparable team firms.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that it pairs a team-based, deep fundamental research process and a low-turnover value orientation with permission to use leverage and derivatives in client SMAs, and it explicitly declines to offer traditional financial planning services. The firm also provides ERISA 3(21) retirement-plan oversight and customized plan-level services while maintaining a stated minimum relationship size for investment management engagements.
