Charles Capital

Charles Capital provides investment advisory services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients through a combination of discretionary SEI-managed account arrangements and non‑discretionary portfolio consulting. The firm operates as a sole adviser with a very small client roster and manages a correspondingly modest level of client assets.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes factor-based and quantitative analysis, with momentum identified as the primary factor in its models, and uses the SEI Managed Account Solutions custody‑only program to implement custom allocations that may not follow SEI model portfolios. For its portfolio consulting clients, Charles Capital documents objectives and monitors accounts at least quarterly but does not execute trades on behalf of those clients — implementation is left to the client.

Notable operational features include the use of SEI’s custody‑only/custom portfolio option, a policy of managing each account separately rather than aggregating trades, and a practice of not voting client proxies (clients receive and vote their own proxies). The firm’s principal also maintains a full‑time engineering occupation outside the advisory business, which the brochure discloses as the adviser’s primary time commitment.
