Capitalade

The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, families, family offices, estates and small businesses, and accepts clients located both inside and outside the United States. For non‑U.S. clients, services are provided strictly on a reverse‑solicitation basis and the firm warns those clients they will not have the investor‑protection benefits of their home jurisdictions.

The firm’s investment approach is primarily fundamental, bottom‑up research documented in written investment memoranda and implemented via either a concentrated equity strategy (a small number of long‑horizon positions with sizable single‑position limits and cash held as a residual) or more diversified balanced mandates that may use ETFs and fixed‑income instruments. The firm also offers performance‑based fee arrangements subject to a high‑water‑mark and maintains written trade allocation, pre‑clearance, blackout and restricted‑list procedures to address conflicts from personal trading and side‑by‑side management.

Noteworthy distinctions include the sole member’s professional background in Korean markets, which informs research and the firm’s capacity to work with international securities and multi‑currency custodial arrangements, and the permanent placement of certain personal non‑U.S. holdings on the restricted list to remove that conflict. The firm is newly state‑registered and currently reports no client assets, which produces explicit key‑person and startup considerations and a stated commitment to engage independent compliance review once specified client or fee conditions occur.
