Capital Management Analytics is an investment management firm which is primarily involved in portfolio management for doctors, executives, endowments, trusts, and family businesses. Founded in 1993, we serve as general investment advisors as well as portfolio managers for clients all across the U.S., evaluating and trading stocks, bonds as well as other securities on behalf of our clients. Our services are strictly fee-based, and we receive no compensation from commissions or sales charges in any form.

No. CMA is a registered investment advisor-- not a broker-dealer such as Merrill Lynch or Salomon Smith Barney. Brokerage firms are in the business of selling securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) for commissions and/or markups. CMA does not sell securities or investment products of any type. Nor are we compensated by commissions or sales charges in any form. No commissions means no conflicts of interest. Fee-based investment advice and management is our only business.

• Professional management.
• Unique investment strategies.
• No wall street conflicts of interest. Independent securities analysis.
• CMA’s leverage with brokers permits substantial savings on commission costs and superior trade execution.

Yes. Although there are exceptions, management contracts are generally for accounts of a minimum size of $250,000 ($500,000 for fixed-income). Hourly advisory consulting services may be more suitable for smaller accounts.

CMA does not serve as the custodian for client accounts. A brokerage firm is chosen to serve as the custodian for the account. If the client has no preference, CMA may recommend a custodian. In cases where transfer of securities may be necessary, CMA will prepare the necessary paperwork and facilitate these transfers.

Not necessarily. Unlike some investment managers, we will not automatically sell off your entire portfolio in order to make your holdings conform to our other positions. Taking unnecessary capital gains or arbitrarily restructuring a portfolio may not be in the client’s best interest. Instead, we will evaluate your current portfolio in light of your current objectives and circumstances.

Yes. Our clients have full access to their portfolio manager. All you have to do is pick up the phone or meet virtually with us. In addition, we attempt to meet personally with clients once a quarter to review the progress of the account and to revise or confirm objectives and instructions. Clients who wish to meet on a more frequent basis may do so upon request.
