Steele Capital Management provides fee-only investment advisory and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients) and company-sponsored retirement plans, along with participant education and financial planning made available at no additional charge to investment management clients. The firm offers portfolio management for both individual accounts and retirement-plan assets under discretionary and non-discretionary arrangements.

SCM’s investment approach emphasizes long-term, generally passive, low-fee strategies implemented through diversified mutual funds and ETFs, disciplined screening of investments, periodic rebalancing, and quarterly performance monitoring tailored to each client’s risk profile and objectives. For retirement plans the firm acts as an ERISA fiduciary when engaged on a discretionary basis and provides IPS-driven line-up construction, ongoing monitoring, and participant education when engaged non-discretionarily.

A noteworthy distinction is SCM’s role as subadvisor to the Strategic Roadmap Portfolios: five Collective Investment Funds (CIFs) sponsored by Matrix Trust Company that the firm manages for use in retirement plans, reflecting involvement with pooled institutional vehicles that relatively few multi-team firms provide. The brochure also discloses the firm’s use of third-party referral arrangements (including paid promoters and prior participation in Schwab’s referral network) and indicates the use of client testimonials in its marketing materials, elements that shape how it acquires and communicates with clients.
