About

Steel Grove Capital Advisors provides wealth management, discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, and financial planning to affluent individuals and families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and business entities. The firm manages diversified portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual debt and equity securities, options, and private placements, and reports approximately $1.64 billion in assets under management.

The firm says it combines statistical analysis and proprietary liability-planning tools with regular client interaction to establish asset allocation and portfolio construction, emphasizing long-term strategies while allowing tactical reallocations and rebalancing. Steel Grove’s implementation can include derivatives (options) and the use of margin in client accounts, and it may recommend alternative investments and private funds as part of a client’s plan.

Steel Grove is affiliated with related entities that manage and sponsor private investment vehicles, including a real estate manager and pooled funds, and it discloses that it may forego advisory fees on assets placed in those affiliated funds. The firm also notes it will, in limited circumstances, negotiate performance-based fee arrangements for qualified clients and that certain personnel participate on external private equity advisory councils with opportunities for co-investment, conflicts the firm discloses and says it manages through policies and monitoring.
