About

Donaldson Capital Management serves a mix of individual and institutional clients, including individuals, high-net-worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, foundations, corporations, and other business entities. The firm offers ongoing investment management through its proprietary One Fee Program and independent money-manager platforms, alongside financial planning, consulting, and retirement-plan services including 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary engagements.

DCM’s investment approach is model-driven, using proprietary portfolio strategies such as Cornerstone, Income Builder, Sequoia, Endowment, and Preservation of Capital that emphasize dividend-paying equities and fixed income to generate income and/or growth. Portfolios are constructed and overseen by an Investment Policy Committee, typically feature roughly thirty securities in equity models, and are tailored to clients’ income needs, risk tolerance, and time horizon with discretionary or non-discretionary implementation as agreed.

Compared with many peers, DCM explicitly provides pooled-vehicle management and serves as sub-adviser to collective investment trusts (including the Donaldson Rising Dividend Cornerstone Fund, Donaldson Sequoia Fund, and Donaldson Preservation Fund) available to retirement plans, and it combines that pooled-vehicle capability with on‑site retirement-plan fiduciary services. The firm also distributes a quarterly macro‑economic newsletter to clients and documents specific procedures for working with retirement plan sponsors and CIT trustees, reflecting a notable institutional and retirement-plan emphasis in its service mix.

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.
