About

Trinity Capital Management provides wealth management services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), families, charitable organizations, retirement plans, trusts, estates, corporations, and other institutions. The firm’s services include discretionary investment management and a suite of “Advanced Planning” services, and it generally charges percentage‑of‑assets fees assessed quarterly.

The firm’s investment approach is rooted in Modern Portfolio Theory and multi‑factor regression analysis, seeking broad global diversification and targeted exposure to risk premia through tilts toward smaller‑cap, value, and profitability factors. Portfolios are implemented largely with institutional‑grade, no‑load funds (including access to Dimensional Fund Advisors’ institutional share classes) and are tailored to each client’s tax situation, risk tolerance, and income needs (often using laddered fixed‑income structures).

Noteworthy characteristics include TCM’s approved relationship with Dimensional Fund Advisors, which allows use of DFA institutional funds after DFA’s advisor screening and training, and the use of Schwab prime‑brokerage arrangements to source fixed‑income execution when necessary. The firm also describes a practice of waiving one‑time Advanced Planning fees when investment management fees meet a threshold, reports approximately $557 million in AUM managed by a five‑advisor team serving about 376 clients, and does not charge performance‑based fees or participate in wrap programs.
