About
Capital Trust Advisors serves individual clients, including high-net-worth households, as well as trusts, estates, and other institutional clients. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, asset allocation, and integrated financial and retirement planning, typically implementing investments through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis and are built from a detailed onboarding process that assesses objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and prior investment history; the firm may prepare a written investment or asset allocation policy for each client. CTA employs fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and implements both long- and short-term strategies, and it incorporates held-away account data via ByAllAccounts to take external holdings into account when advising clients.
Noteworthy features for a firm of this size include a relatively small advisory team (three advisors) managing $402.6 million in discretionary assets across about 231 clients, and the inclusion of financial planning within its ongoing management services. The firm recommends Schwab Advisor Services for custody and receives institutional support from Schwab, and it does not accept proxy-voting authority on client securities.

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
