About
Capital Investment Counsel provides discretionary, individually tailored portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, trusts, and estates. The firm manages separate equity and fixed‑income portfolios on a discretionary basis and reports more than $1.02 billion in assets under management.
The firm’s investment approach is a contrarian, low‑turnover “Counsel Style” that emphasizes financially strong, out‑of‑favor companies purchased at historically low valuations, reinvestment of dividends, and tax‑aware positioning as outlined in a five‑point philosophy. Portfolios are customized across growth, growth‑and‑income, balanced, and income objectives, and some accounts may be co‑advised or co‑managed with an affiliated adviser.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include formal affiliations with broker‑dealers and other advisory entities and several investment adviser representatives who are also registered representatives; the firm commonly recommends affiliated broker‑dealers for trade execution and may receive commissions or 12b‑1/service fees on certain products. The firm also operates with a relatively high client load and AUM per adviser (more than $200 million per adviser and roughly 300+ clients per adviser), and the brochure describes disclosure and mitigation measures such as periodic brokerage reviews and a Code of Ethics.

Advisors at this firm
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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
