About

Modern Capital Advisors provides financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, and retirement plan consulting to a mix of individual (including high‑net‑worth) clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charities and corporations. The firm supports client relationships through individualized comprehensive or modular financial plans and ongoing portfolio supervision, and it facilitates implementation either directly or via referrals to third‑party money managers.

Investment approach centers on strategic asset allocation with a core‑and‑satellite framework that uses passive index ETFs and mutual funds as cores and selectively adds active managers or third‑party Strategists where appropriate. Representatives may implement strategies directly, place assets with approved TAMPs or third‑party managers (including SPM/Strategist models), and review accounts at least annually with more frequent monitoring when needed.

The brochure discloses several uncommon features for a firm of this size: MCA is a subsidiary of Topsail Acquisitions and has affiliated broker‑dealers (Modern Capital Securities, Inc. and Liberty Partners Financial Services, LLC) and an affiliated insurance agency (Liberty Partners Insurance Services, LLC), and some representatives act in those separate capacities, which can lead to dual compensation and potential conflicts of interest. The firm also documents solicitor arrangements, receipt of 12b‑1 and other custodial economic benefits (noting relationships with RBC Correspondent Services and Axos), and discusses real‑estate‑related investments and limited‑partnership interests as part of its investment menu and risk disclosures.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
