CAP Partners, LLC (“CAP Partners”) is a SEC-registered investment advisor and Tennessee limited liability company offering advisory services including personalized investment management and consulting services to a wide variety of clients since November 2007. CAP Partners is wholly owned by Brendan Easterday. CAP Partners does not control any other firm. The advisory services of CAP Partners are described in detail below.
What We Do Financial Counseling Services Financial counseling advice will typically involve providing a variety of services, principally advisory in nature, to individuals regarding the management of their financial resources based on an analysis of individual client needs. A CAP Partners Representative begins services by conducting an initial consultation. During this initial consultation, pertinent information about the client's financial circumstances and objectives is collected. Services are performed in the scope requested by a client and usually include an analysis of the client’s current investments, investment objectives, and risk tolerance followed by recommendations for the sale of existing or purchase of new investments.
Counseling Services result in a report being provided to a client which may be in writing if requested by the client.
The primary objective of this process is to allow CAP Partners to assist the client in developing a strategy for the successful management of income, assets, and liabilities in meeting the client’s financial goals and objectives.
Advice to the client is based on the client's financial situation at the time the report is presented and is based on information provided by the client to CAP Partners. CAP Partners does not guarantee or promise that the client's financial goals and objectives will be met.
Clients decide which investment recommendations to accept and implement. Clients are also free to select any brokerage, insurance or other product provider to purchase (or sell) investments, insurance, or other products discussed with CAP Partners. CAP Partners does not guarantee results, and losses can occur from receiving Counseling Services.
Changes in the client's financial condition, personal circumstances, goals, or general economic conditions may trigger changes to the advice provided by CAP Partners. All Counseling Services advice is based on information provided by the client. It is the client's responsibility to be certain that CAP Partners has current and accurate information.

The decision to accept any

recommendation or advice provided by CAP Partners in its Financial Planning Services and all decisions regarding implementation thereof are left to the client. Clients are free to implement recommended transactions through broker-dealers and other service providers other than those recommended by CAP Partners. Clients should evaluate independently the transaction execution services recommended by CAP Partners Representatives, including the reasonableness of any transaction price and commission.
All planning is based on information provided by the client. It is the client’s responsibility to be certain CAP Partners has current and accurate information to enable CAP Partners to prepare the initial plan, and it is the client’s responsibility to inform the Representative of material changes affecting the investments and planning strategies implemented so the Representative has them for future reference.
Asset Management Services CAP Partners provides Asset Management Services to clients wishing to have their investments managed continuously on a discretionary basis. Services begin with a CAP Partners Representative assisting each new client in determining the client’s investment objectives. Then CAP Partners manages each client’s investments in a manner consistent with the client’s objectives and risk tolerance. CAP Partners also assists the client in establishing a securities account with a broker-dealer which maintains custody of client securities and funds either directly or with the assistance of its transaction clearing firm.
Besides managing various types of securities for clients such as common and preferred stocks, mutual funds, annuity sub-accounts, warrants, rights, bonds, municipal securities, options and government bonds, a portion of the securities in client accounts may be held in cash or cash equivalents, including money market mutual funds.
Advice given to any client may differ from advice given, or the timing and nature of the action taken, with respect to other client accounts. Advisor will make a reasonable effort to follow all investment management restrictions and instructions expressed to the firm by a client. Clients are encouraged to call their Representative at any time if they have questions.
Services may be terminated upon 30 days advance written notice from either party to the other. As a general rule, CAP Partners believes that investing is best suited to those who believe in a long-term buy-and-hold policy. Therefore, clients should not expect frequent investment changes in the portfolio. However, as a result of monitoring the account, investment purchases and sales will be made.
Investments are not held by CAP Partners. Instead, all investments managed by CAP Partners are usually held at the brokerage firm through which transactions are placed.
CAP Partners does not assure or guarantee the results of its Asset Management Services; thus, losses can occur from following CAP Partner’s advice pertaining to any investment or investment approach, including using conservative investment strategies. As of January 1, 2024, CAP Partners had assets of $178,952,142 under discretionary management.
