This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by CAP.
B. Advisory Services Offered
CAP offers investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, businesses and
private funds (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate and
disclose any potential conflicts of interest. CAP's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of
Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
CAP provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
spersonal Client contact and interaction while primarily providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. CAP works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as
risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. CAP then constructs an investment
portfolio, consisting of individual stocks, individual bonds, mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to
achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize options contracts, private funds/limited
partnerships, and/or other investment managers to meet the objectives of its Clients. The Advisor may retain
certain types of legacy investments for a Client based on their overall fit within a portfolio strategy and/or tax and
fiduciary considerations.
CAP’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-allocate positions
that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. CAP
constructs, implements, and monitors the portfolio to meet the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance
agreed to by each Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of
investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
CAP evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. CAP may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. CAP
may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend
employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movements. CAP may recommend selling positions
for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure
to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change
in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the
Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will CAP accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except as described herein. All
Client assets will be managed within their designated account(s) at the Custodian, pursuant to the Client
investment advisory agreement. Please see Item 12.

Private Investment Vehicles. CAP will, as appropriate, recommend that eligible Clients invest in one or more pooled
investment vehicles (which could include special purpose vehicles) whose securities are offered on a private
placement basis (“private funds”), including private funds that are sponsored by one or more of CAP’s affiliates.
There are numerous risks inherent in investing in private funds, and it is imperative for all prospective investors to
read and understand any offering documents (including any private placement memorandum, partnership or
operating agreement, and/or subscription documents) relating to such private fund which describe, among other
things, the investment program, fees, risk factors, and conflicts of interest associated with an investment in such
private fund.
With respect to private funds sponsored by CAP’s affiliates, depending on the specific private fund, CAP and/or its
affiliates can earn fees (including management fees and/or performance fees) for providing services to such private
fund. Although CAP may waive its investment management fee when recommending that a Client invest assets in a
proprietary private fund, a conflict of interest nonetheless exists when CAP recommends an investment in a private
fund sponsored by any of its affiliates to its Clients because CAP or such affiliates may have the opportunity to earn
more compensation as a result of such a recommendation than CAP would otherwise earn by recommending that
the Client invest assets in another investment.
Use of Independent Managers
CAP may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment
platforms
(collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the
Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager(s) that
defines the terms in which the Independent Manager(s) will provide investment management and related services.
The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing
Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected
Independent Manager(s) to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned
with its Clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with
unaffiliated investment manager(s) or investment platform(s), will be provided with the Independent Manager's
Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
At no time will CAP accept or maintain physical custody of a Client’s funds or securities and will have only deemed
custody as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account(s) at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Advising
private funds
CAP provides advisory or sub-advisory services to private funds sponsored by both its affiliates and unaffiliated
third parties. CAP receives compensation for services rendered to such private funds as described in the offering
documents for such Private funds. A conflict of interest exists when CAP recommends any such private funds to its
clients because of the compensation that CAP can earn as a result of advisory services rendered to such private
funds.
Financial Planning Services
CAP will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to a written
financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on
their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or
rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement
planning, personal savings, education savings, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
Page 6
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment program, commence, or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
CAP may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation.
For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial
situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide
a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming
all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging CAP to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the
Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – CAP, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks
to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – CAP will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – CAP will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – CAP will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
CAP does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by CAP.
E. Assets Under Management
As of March 28, 2024, CAP oversees approximately $1,515,091,768 in assets of which approximately
$984,162,098 is managed on a discretionary basis, approximately $189,750,936 is managed on a non-
discretionary basis, and approximately $341,178,734 are assets under advisement. Clients may request more
current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
