San Francisco, CA Office

Shelton Capital Management provides investment management to mutual funds, institutional investors, retirement plans and their sponsors, state and municipal governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and individual investors through separately managed accounts, sub‑advisory mandates, model/UMA delivery and wrap fee programs. The firm also serves as adviser to series of registered investment companies (the Shelton Funds Trust and SCM Trust) and offers ERISA 3(38) services for plan sponsors.

The firm describes an active, discipline‑specific approach that combines fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis; certain strategies explicitly use options (covered calls, cash‑secured puts, protective puts), other derivatives, and may employ borrowing or margin in SMA implementations to pursue income or tactical credit objectives. Shelton also describes ESG screening in its fixed‑income and equity offerings and applies data‑science and machine learning tools in its international and small‑cap stock selection, while working with sponsors and custodians to implement discretionary or model‑based allocations subject to client restrictions.

Several features in the brochure are less common among peers: Shelton manages investment companies, sponsors wrap programs, and discloses an affiliation with a broker‑dealer that serves as distributor and maintains a limited registration. The firm’s materials also reference predecessor and hypothetical performance and third‑party ratings, and document active involvement in commodity and derivatives markets (including the attendant commodity/derivatives risk disclosures), as well as direct relationships with state and municipal clients.
