About

Front Street Capital Management serves a broad mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as retirement plans, trusts, charitable organizations and investment companies. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management across equity, fixed‑income and mutual‑fund strategies and provides consulting services, typically charging percentage‑of‑assets fees for ongoing asset management.

The adviser emphasizes a bottom‑up, fundamental investment approach combined with qualitative analysis of management quality, capital allocation and long‑term business characteristics to pursue capital appreciation. Client portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis after an initial suitability and goals review, with the firm accommodating written client restrictions and offering trading strategies such as options and margin when appropriate.

What is distinctive about this firm is that it acts as the investment adviser to a publicly registered mutual fund (the Tarkio Fund) and accepts investment company clients, which is uncommon for peers of its size. The firm also has affiliated private‑company investments (including a majority stake in a fulfillment business) and a licensed attorney on staff who devotes substantial time to those proprietary investments; it reports related‑party ownership in certain public issuers, maintains a relatively high client count per advisor (200+ clients per advisor), uses borrowing/margin in managed accounts when suitable, and does not offer standalone financial planning as a core service.
