About
Van Ake Capital LLC provides fee‑based portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts and small business entities, managing approximately $23 million across a limited number of client relationships (14 as of February 17, 2025). The firm delivers personalized, ongoing asset management in both discretionary and non‑discretionary formats and does not serve as custodian for client assets.
Investment advice is built from client questionnaires and a combination of fundamental and technical analysis to create customized portfolios, and the firm employs option strategies such as hedging, covered calls and spreads where appropriate. VAC meets with clients to discuss suitability, risk tolerances and portfolio parameters and operates on an annual fee‑only basis rather than charging performance‑based or commission compensation.
Noteworthy features relative to peers include a small client base with substantial assets per relationship and a stated $500,000 account opening minimum that the firm may waive. The brochure also notes the firm does not sell annuities or other commissioned products, does not vote client proxies (proxies are sent directly to clients), and discloses the receipt of soft‑dollar research benefits from brokers.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
