Delta Capital Management, Inc.

Delta Capital Management, Inc. provides discretionary investment management primarily as a third‑party sub‑adviser to a client’s primary financial advisor and, in some cases, directly to individuals, trusts, estates, retirement plans, charitable organizations, corporations and institutions. The firm’s services are focused on portfolio management rather than financial planning or tax and legal advice, and it generally accepts accounts meeting a stated minimum portfolio value.

DCM’s stated investment approach pairs a bond fund portfolio oriented toward income and capital preservation with the use of S&P 500 index options (long calls) to capture upside while limiting downside exposure; options positions are typically held for about 12 months and are limited to a small percentage of the portfolio. The firm applies traditional fundamental analysis to manager and security selection and manages accounts on a long‑term, discretionary basis.

What is distinctive for this firm is its compact, specialist model: it operates with a small client roster and modest assets under management while routinely serving other investment advisers as a sub‑adviser, a client type that is uncommon among peers. The explicit, repeat use of index options within separately managed accounts and the firm’s concentrated operational structure—direct oversight by firm management and quarterly account reviews—differentiate its service model from more conventional advisory practices.
