Tate Capital Group

Tate Capital Group, LLC is an independent advisory firm formed in 2024 that provides customized discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, businesses, charitable organizations and retirement plans, generally requiring a $250,000 relationship minimum. The firm reports roughly $33.3 million in discretionary assets across about 30 client relationships and offers one‑time and ongoing fixed‑fee financial planning alongside ongoing portfolio management.

The advisor typically constructs diversified portfolios using low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs but also may employ individual stocks, bonds, options, margin, short sales and a broad set of alternative investments (including private placements, hedge funds, private equity and commodities), drawing on charting, fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis. Strategies are primarily long‑term oriented but can include short‑term trading and hedging; the firm may engage third‑party managers and exercises discretionary trading with at least quarterly account reviews.

Compared with many solo independent advisers, Tate Capital Group’s unusually wide permissible investment universe and use of leveraged or complex strategies (options, margin, short sales and various alternatives) stands out, and the firm discloses that it may assess separate platform fees, receive soft‑dollar benefits from its custodian and accept fee‑sharing arrangements with subadvisors, which can create potential conflicts of interest. The firm’s principal has disclosed a 2016 retail‑theft conviction and a 2018 termination from a prior employer related to disclosure matters, and also holds a mortgage license that is not currently active, facts prospective clients may consider.
