Core Capital Markets, LLC

CORE Capital Markets is a privately owned, state‑registered investment adviser that primarily provides model portfolio strategies to third‑party platform providers and, in limited circumstances, manages discretionary accounts directly for individual, high‑net‑worth, and trust clients. The firm designs and monitors asset‑allocation model portfolios for implementation through platform programs rather than direct mass distribution.

The firm’s investment approach is asset‑class driven and strategic rather than tactical, emphasizing broad diversification, an asset‑mix focus, and tilts toward small‑cap and value exposures within equity allocations. Models are built using mutual funds and ETFs from select providers and cover a wide range of target exposures — including tax‑advantaged, municipal, socially responsible/sustainability, global market‑cap, and specialized fixed‑income options — with rebalances and model changes communicated to platform partners for execution.

Noteworthy aspects include the firm’s primary business model of distributing its models via platform providers and receiving strategist compensation from those platforms in addition to advisory fees for any direct relationships, an arrangement that the firm discloses as a potential conflict when recommending platforms. The firm operates with a relatively small asset base and limited direct client relationships, and its principal also serves in a registered capacity with an unaffiliated broker‑dealer/platform, while maintaining approval to offer certain fund families that are not broadly available to individual investors.
