About

Hofkin Capital Management is a small, fee‑only investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, and employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm also offers retirement‑plan consulting and can serve as a 3(38) investment manager for plan assets.

The firm’s investment approach is equities‑focused and combines top‑down macro and bottom‑up company analysis to construct flexible portfolios intended for long‑term appreciation while adjusting exposures as market conditions change. Uncommonly for a firm of its size, Hofkin may use borrowing in separately managed accounts and employ short sales and inverse funds, primarily as hedging tools in anticipated market declines.

Compared with peers, Hofkin is notable for making performance‑based fee arrangements available to qualified clients under applicable SEC rules and for its explicit use of margin/borrowing in client accounts—both practices that are relatively rare among similar firms. The adviser operates as a boutique, fee‑only manager with a long registration history and a family ownership structure.
