About
Capital Designs serves primarily high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, and similar client types rather than retail, non‑HNW individual clients. Its brochure (see Item 4 Advisory Business and Item 7 Types of Clients) describes advisory services that emphasize planning and consulting rather than providing discretionary portfolio management for individual accounts.
The firm’s approach is consultative, focusing on financial planning, asset allocation advice and investment strategy recommendations while not offering ongoing portfolio management for most individual clients (see Item 8 Methods of Analysis and Item 16 Investment Discretion). Its fee arrangements differ from the common percentage‑of‑AUM model; the ADV (Item 5 Fees and Compensation) indicates the firm does not rely on AUM‑based fees.
Compared with many independent advisers, Capital Designs is notable for combining a client roster concentrated toward higher‑net‑worth clients with a non‑AUM fee model and limited portfolio management services for individuals (see Item 7 and Item 5). That combination suggests the firm structures engagements around planning and consulting projects rather than the recurring discretionary asset‑management relationships that are common among peers.

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
