Rubey & Rust Capital Management, LLC

Rubey & Rust Capital Management serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities, offering comprehensive portfolio management and retirement plan consulting under a fiduciary standard. The firm reports approximately $381 million in regulatory assets under management across about 140 client relationships and provides investment management, financial planning/consulting, and ERISA‑related plan sponsor support.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and implements long‑ and short‑term positions across stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and options, with portfolios regularly monitored and rebalanced and clients able to impose reasonable restrictions. Rubey & Rust may use derivative strategies (options) and margin/borrowed funds in client accounts and notes that advisory fees are assessed on securities purchased on margin; it also maintains a mix of account authority, with roughly $153.2 million managed on a discretionary basis and $227.8 million on a non‑discretionary basis.

Noteworthy characteristics compared with peers include the firm’s substantial proportion of non‑discretionary AUM and its explicit use of borrowing and derivatives in managed accounts, practices that are relatively uncommon among supported firms. A firm representative is also a licensed tax preparer who may offer tax‑preparation services to clients (clients are under no obligation to use those services), and the advisory team is small yet manages a multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar platform while providing ongoing retirement plan consulting services.
