San Ramon, CA Office

Insight Capital Management is an SEC-registered advisory firm that serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, foundations and other entities, managing roughly $330 million for about 374 client relationships. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and educational workshops/seminars, and generally charges asset‑based fees for advisory services.

The firm tailors investment recommendations to clients’ goals, risk tolerance and liquidity needs, using a mix of fundamental and technical analysis and employing both long‑term and short‑term strategies; accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and the firm typically recommends TD Ameritrade/Charles Schwab as custodian to execute trades. Insight Capital also recommends annuity products from Great West as part of some client plans, may obtain limited trading authority for discretionary accounts, and offers one‑time financial planning engagements.

What is noteworthy about the firm relative to many peers is that certain supervised persons are registered representatives of an unaffiliated broker‑dealer (Independent Financial Group) and the firm maintains affiliations that permit commissionable securities and insurance sales, a structure that the brochure identifies as creating potential conflicts of interest and which the firm addresses through disclosure and compliance procedures. The firm also maintains solicitor and retirement‑plan relationships (including arrangements with TPFG and Paychex Retirement Services) that can lead to recommendations to allocate plan assets to specific managed portfolios, and these referral arrangements are disclosed to clients.
