About
Capstone Financial Advisors provides investment advisory and planning services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. Services described in the brochure include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, pension consulting and participant education, and tax preparation services.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset-class allocation, controlling portfolio costs, and positioning for tax efficiency, using mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, options in limited cases, and third‑party sub‑advisers selected through quantitative and qualitative due diligence overseen by an Investment Committee. Portfolios are managed with a generally multi‑year outlook (typical minimum outlook of three years) and employ a mix of long‑term and opportunistic strategies, with private fund investments available to qualifying, accredited investors.
Noteworthy features include managing roughly $2.87 billion for about 1,068 clients with a 17‑advisor team and treating significant legacy holdings as part of account values when calculating fees even if clients do not intend those assets to be liquidated. The firm also offers in‑house tax preparation and pension plan consulting alongside advisory services, provides private fund access to qualified investors, and discloses structured use of artificial intelligence only as a supplemental research and administrative tool while reserving investment decisions for advisers and the Investment Committee.

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 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
