About
1492 Capital Management provides discretionary small‑cap equity portfolio management, wealth management and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, foundations, trusts and other separate accounts. The firm also delivers model portfolios to program sponsors and third parties and reported approximately $274.6 million in discretionary assets as of December 31, 2025.
Investment decisions are driven by a bottom‑up, thematic approach built on fundamental company research and numerous face‑to‑face management meetings; themes can comprise a sizable share of portfolios (up to about 60% in the Small Cap Growth strategy and up to about 40% in the Small Cap Value strategy). 1492 overlays this research with supplemental technical analysis, manages accounts on a discretionary, model‑driven basis, and reviews and rebalances portfolios at least quarterly.
The brochure discloses that the firm publishes model performance against Russell benchmarks, may offer performance‑based fee arrangements, and has data‑licensing arrangements that can include quality fees tied to model performance—conflicts the firm says it mitigates through delivery rotation and related policies. 1492 also participates in wrap‑fee programs and provides models to program sponsors, and uses derivatives such as options and futures in its separately managed strategies, which it identifies as adding specific risks addressed in its disclosures.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
