Tate Capital Group

Tate Capital Group provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, businesses, charitable organizations and retirement plans. The firm manages diversified portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs and individual securities and offers one‑time or ongoing financial planning engagements.

The firm emphasizes long‑term portfolio construction while employing multiple methods of analysis — charting, fundamental, quantitative and technical — and may implement shorter‑term actions as needed. It also uses a broader set of strategies than many small advisers, including options, short sales and margin, and may delegate portions of client assets to third‑party sub‑advisers when appropriate.

What is noteworthy is the combination of a relatively small client base with access to higher‑complexity instruments and alternative vehicles (private placements, hedge funds, venture capital and precious‑metal ETFs), and the firm’s practice of engaging third‑party managers and charging an additional platform fee when those managers are used. The brochure also discloses operational choices that differ from many peers — for example, the firm does not aggregate (block) trades — and it discloses an outside business activity that generates modest outside compensation as well as a prior criminal charge and an employment termination in its disciplinary history.
