Capital Analysts serves a mix of retail and institutional clients — including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, trusts, foundations, businesses and charitable organizations — and provides portfolio management, advisor‑managed custom and model portfolios, access to third‑party managers, and ERISA/403(b) retirement‑plan advice. The firm delivers these services through a nationwide network of independent advisor representatives and firm‑managed CAAMS programs.

Investment management is delivered both on a discretionary basis by an in‑house Investment Management & Research (IM&R) team and on a non‑discretionary basis via advisors and third‑party managers; the IM&R team uses a proprietary mutual‑fund screening process called CAPSL to build mutual fund, ETF and equity model portfolios and offers tax‑aware and rebalancing options. Capital Analysts also serves as co‑adviser or promoter for third‑party managers and states its fiduciary obligations for retirement and tax‑advantaged accounts.

What is noteworthy in the brochure is the firm’s integration with Lincoln Investment and its institutional relationships with Pershing/BNY, which support its sweep products (including Dreyfus bank‑deposit and government cash sweep arrangements) and are the subject of detailed revenue‑sharing and conflict‑of‑interest disclosures. The firm also highlights institutional work with plan sponsors (including school districts and 403(b) arrangements and registration with CalSTRS), relationships with other investment advisers and trust companies, and a disclosed 2018 SEC settlement and client refunds related to mutual‑fund share‑class selection.
