Roan Capital Partners provides investment management and financial planning primarily to individual and high net-worth clients, and also offers business planning, employee benefits optimization, and estate and tax planning as part of its advisory services. The firm reports managing $152,023,601 solely on a discretionary basis for roughly 328 clients and also offers hourly financial planning engagements.

RCP’s stated investment framework is primarily passive: portfolios are built with low-cost index mutual funds and ETFs to achieve target asset-class exposures, with an emphasis on low turnover and tax efficiency. The firm also cites the use of fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analysis as part of its investment analysis toolbox and constructs client-specific investment policy statements to guide discretionary management.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include a recent transition from state registration to SEC registration and an explicit policy of no account minimums, despite managing mid-sized discretionary AUM. The firm describes an independent-fee model (no outside product compensation), a custodial relationship with Charles Schwab that provides institutional services and soft-dollar benefits, and a practice of not voting client proxies while participating in client meetings with outside attorneys or tax professionals when requested.
