Oak & Reed Capital Management serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and small businesses. The firm provides comprehensive portfolio management, asset management, financial planning and pension-consulting services and manages roughly $19 million in client assets on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases.

Investment decisions are driven primarily by fundamental analysis and are supplemented by technical, charting and macro/cyclical considerations, with portfolios reviewed at least quarterly. Depending on client needs, strategies range from long-term holdings to shorter-term trading and may include ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities, options, short sales, margin transactions and private investments.

A distinguishing feature is the firm’s work with employer-sponsored retirement plans—providing pension consulting to plan sponsors and acknowledging a fiduciary role under Section 3(21) of ERISA—which places it among the smaller group of peers that manage pooled-plan assets. As a two-advisor, small practice, the firm combines these plan services with active trading capabilities and an affiliated life and health insurance practice, a combination that can raise specific conflict-of-interest considerations for clients.
