About

WESCAP Group is a team advisory firm that manages approximately $1.09 billion for roughly 320 clients, serving individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and pooled investment vehicles. The firm offers discretionary and non-discretionary wealth management and standalone financial planning services tailored to each client's objectives.

WESCAP employs a strategic and tactical asset-allocation framework with a contrarian, value-oriented bent, emphasizing broad global diversification, tax efficiency, and low transaction costs. Portfolios typically use mutual funds and ETFs and may include less-common asset classes and hedged strategies identified through fundamental analysis and occasional tactical tilts.

Distinctively, WESCAP acts as the managing general partner and sponsor of Hedgecap Partners, L.P., a private pooled investment vehicle that may use hedging and leverage and for which the firm receives management and operating fees; in that capacity the firm has access to pooled-fund assets and provides audited annual financial statements to investors. The firm also relies on institutional custody and trading capabilities (including aggregated trading and an iRebal license) through a preferred custodian, and may be deemed to have limited custody when authorized to deduct advisory fees directly from client accounts.
