Stafford Capital Management LLC

Stafford Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management through individually managed accounts for high‑net‑worth individuals, families, trusts and small business entities, focusing principally on equity and equity‑related securities across market capitalizations. The firm typically does not serve individual clients who are not high‑net‑worth and structures client relationships around separately managed accounts.

The firm employs a bottom‑up, fundamental investment process with a growth‑at‑a‑reasonable‑price (GARP) orientation, building concentrated portfolios one stock at a time and generally holding roughly 25–30 names with typical position sizes of 2% to 6%. Investment decisions emphasize company‑specific research, a network of industry contacts for idea generation, disciplined valuation‑based entry and exit points, and discretionary, tax‑aware portfolio construction rather than index tracking.

Notably, the firm is affiliated with a separately registered general partner arrangement: the firm’s principal serves as general partner of Pacific Management, Ltd., and the adviser provides administrative trading and operations support to Pacific Asset Partners, a partnership that is currently winding down; two of the adviser’s clients also invested in that partnership. The adviser operates on a small scale—managing roughly $4.4 million across a very limited number of accounts—which is atypical among peers and can influence portfolio concentration, brokerage negotiation dynamics, and service allocation.
