Heighten Capital Management LLC

Heighten Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management through separately managed accounts for high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, trusts, retirement accounts, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable entities, and certain institutional investors. Its advisory services are delivered via two public-equity and options strategies—a concentrated, margin-using value strategy and a cash-oriented premium-income strategy—together with ongoing monitoring, trading authority, and custodial reporting.

The firm’s investment approach is valuation-focused and fundamentally driven, combining top-down context with bottom-up company analysis to select a relatively concentrated set of high-conviction exchange-traded equities and to use written options tactically to monetize volatility or manage exposures. It applies documented internal guardrails (position limits, concentration and sector caps, cash targets, short-put limits) and formal trade-allocation and compliance procedures, and it may accept performance-fee arrangements for eligible clients.

Noteworthy features in the brochure that are uncommon for firms of this type include explicit disclosure of predecessor performance and hypothetical performance examples despite not yet having commenced client asset management, and the stated intent to provide portfolio management to both individual and institutional clients while not acting as a private fund adviser. The brochure also highlights the firm’s use of proprietary capital and side-by-side management (with attendant conflicts from performance fees and personal trading) and describes specific controls and documentation intended to mitigate those conflicts.
