Garden City, NY Old Country Rd. Office

Capital Analysts serves a broad client base that includes individual and high‑net‑worth investors, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, trusts, foundations, charitable organizations and corporate clients, and it also works with trust companies and third‑party advisers. The firm delivers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management through both wrap and non‑wrap programs, advisor‑managed model and custom portfolios, access to third‑party managers, and ERISA retirement plan advisory services.

Investment decisions for Capital Analysts’ managed programs are driven by an in‑house Investment Management & Research (IM&R) team that operates discretionary CAAMS model portfolios and uses a proprietary mutual‑fund screening process called CAPSL; advisors may provide client consultation, custom portfolios or select third‑party managers depending on the engagement. The firm describes its fiduciary role for advisory accounts, offers automated rebalancing and tax‑aware or managed‑volatility options, and differentiates between full and limited discretionary authority in client agreements.

Compared with many enterprise peers, Capital Analysts highlights several less common arrangements: a close affiliation with Lincoln Investment and detailed custodial and revenue‑sharing agreements with Pershing/BNY that affect sweep products and share‑class selection, and a firm model in which many independent advisors may offer outside business activities — including real estate and insurance — alongside advisory services. The firm manages roughly $8.8 billion through a network of several hundred advisors and frames financial and life planning as advisor‑provided consultation “as requested” rather than a separately packaged, firm‑wide financial planning product.
