About

Spectrum Strategic Capital Management is an SEC‑registered, team‑based investment adviser managing roughly $275 million for about 280 clients with a five‑person advisory team. The firm provides financial planning, portfolio construction and discretionary investment management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, and other entities.

Investment advice is delivered through a written client profile and Investment Policy Statement, and Spectrum offers three principal strategies: a customized Investment Management strategy, an Enhanced Index ETF‑based strategy, and an Unconstrained Alpha+ long–short strategy. While typically oriented toward longer‑term allocations, the firm discloses that it may implement options, derivatives, short sales, margin borrowing and select private investments (including cryptocurrency ETFs) as part of portfolio implementation and monitoring.

Noteworthy disclosures in the Form ADV include affiliations with accounting activities—principals maintain ownership interests in an accounting firm and limited tax practices—and an affiliated insurance agency, with conflicts disclosed to clients. The brochure also notes that the firm presents hypothetical performance in its materials and that it permits the use of borrowing and derivatives in separately managed accounts (the Unconstrained Alpha+ strategy is custodied at Interactive Brokers and carries liquidity and minimum investment restrictions), features that are less common among peer team firms.
