Fairbanks Capital Management provides discretionary investment management and limited financial‑planning related advice to a mix of individual and institutional clients, including high‑net‑worth individuals, retirement plans, trusts, foundations, and pooled investment vehicles. The firm’s Form ADV explicitly lists pooled vehicles among its client types and notes it may use confidential offering memoranda and client agreements for certain relationships.

FCM pursues a concentrated, long‑term equity strategy—targeting ownership in scalable businesses with typical annual portfolio turnover of 10–20% and holding periods often measured in five to ten years—alongside an investment‑grade fixed‑income sleeve that favors bonds with active call provisions to shorten duration. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis, cash is treated as part of the portfolio and included in fee calculations, and the firm documents risk controls (sector constraints, position‑review triggers, and ongoing company monitoring) and delivers quarterly summaries to clients.

Distinctive features for a firm of this size include its role advising pooled vehicles and private‑fund arrangements, as reflected by references to confidential offering memoranda and pooled‑vehicle management in the brochure. The firm also expressly discloses brokerage practices that can involve margin charges and other borrowing costs—consistent with the possibility of borrowing in managed accounts—and points clients to public disclosures via its website and SEC adviser filings where performance and third‑party information may be available.
