Rhodes Capital Management, Inc.

Rhodes Capital Management provides portfolio management and standalone financial planning and consulting to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and small businesses. Services described in the brochure include determination of financial objectives, cash‑flow and retirement planning, education funding and ongoing investment management using stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds and option strategies.

The firm describes a strategic asset‑allocation, core‑and‑satellite approach that pairs passive index‑tracking core positions with active satellite holdings to manage cost, tax exposure and volatility. Investment implementation may include long‑ and short‑term positions as well as option writing, futures, short sales, margin transactions and hedging or leveraged ETF strategies when appropriate to a client’s stated objectives and risk tolerance.

Noteworthy aspects of the brochure include the advisor’s insurance licensing and the use of insurance‑related investment vehicles, and an explicit willingness to employ derivatives and margin in client accounts—practices that are less common among similar independent advisers. The firm also discloses a past NASD arbitration settlement (reported at $34,000 and dismissed with prejudice after settlement), a regulatory disclosure that prospective clients may consider when evaluating the firm.
