About

Vanguard Capital provides discretionary investment management and integrated financial planning primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, typically establishing relationships with a stated account minimum and householding related accounts for fee and service purposes. The firm also offers consulting on estate planning, insurance, real estate and annuities, and provides rollover guidance for retirement plan assets.

The firm bases portfolio construction on written client profiles and investment plans, emphasizing diversification, risk management and intermediate-to-long-term holding periods (generally one to three years), with periodic rebalancing at least annually. Vanguard Capital may employ tactical tools — including automated stop-loss orders and covered-call writing for qualifying clients — and evaluates securities with a focus on company management, cashflow potential and sector positioning.

Noteworthy characteristics include a mid-sized advisory team (five advisors) managing roughly $190 million for about 199 clients and a practice that manages only discretionary assets while including financial planning within advisory services and offering standalone, hourly consulting for non-portfolio engagements. The firm discloses receipt of institutional services from its recommended custodian and reports a prior FINRA disciplinary matter involving a former associated person related to leveraged/inverse ETF suitability and disclosure issues.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
