About

Watts Capital Partners provides financial planning, wealth management, and investment management to individuals and families, business owners, Gen X/Gen Y professionals, and certain institutional or enterprise clients. The firm delivers tailored planning across cash flow, tax, retirement, business succession, divorce, and charitable/legacy needs and implements those plans on a fee-based fiduciary basis.

The firm’s investment approach centers on a core long-term allocation supplemented by proprietary strategies: an Industry Innovator equity strategy focused on high‑growth companies and quantitative Tactical Growth models that generate ETF buy/sell signals. Watts Capital also offers alternative investments (private equity, private credit, real estate, and digital assets), implements strategies through separately managed accounts, and may employ technical tools such as margin transactions, short-term trading, and options writing (including covered, uncovered, and spread strategies).

Distinctive operational features include the firm’s stated ability to accept performance-based fees or a share of capital gains for certain products (typically available only to accredited investors), and the explicit use of derivatives within some managed accounts. The firm also highlights specialized services for business owners and cross-border tax planning, a $1 million account threshold (waivable), and a team with credentials that include CFP®, CFA®, CAIA® and digital asset training.
