Gardnerville, NV Office

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.
