Cary Street Partners Asset Management provides discretionary portfolio management and non‑discretionary investment consulting primarily through other registered investment advisers and platform sponsors, and also accepts direct client relationships in limited circumstances. Its client base spans individual and high‑net‑worth investors as well as institutional types identified in the brochure, including registered investment companies, insurance companies, and governmental entities.

The firm offers two complementary investment frameworks: CSP Global model portfolios that use an academically vetted, quantitative efficient‑frontier asset allocation and manager research process for mutual funds, ETFs and SMAs, and CSP Separate Accounts that employ a qualitative, fundamental approach to individual equity and fixed‑income selection. CSPAM also manages wrap fee program strategies, serves as a sub‑adviser to other advisers, applies tax‑sensitive trading techniques (for example replacing mutual funds with ETFs to avoid wash sales), and its proprietary offering (the Fairlead Tactical Sector ETF, “TACK”) uses systematic technical indicators implemented by a sub‑adviser.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include a corporate structure with affiliated businesses—the firm is affiliated with a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer (Cary Street Partners LLC), an affiliated investment adviser (CSPIA), and an affiliated insurance entity—and an ownership interest by CIVC Fund VII, a private equity fund. The firm also documents its role as investment adviser to a registered ETF, participation in wrap programs and sub‑advisory arrangements, periodic acceptance of travel‑related due diligence support from other advisers, and the existence of an AI policy and governance for certain firm processes.
