Type of Services Offered
CMC provides discretionary, investment management services on a fee only basis, which includes
designing, revising, and reallocating a client’s custom portfolio based on continual client reviews and
market analysis.
Tailored Relationships
The focus at Capital Management Consultants is to provide you with superior personalized service
and unbiased advice that is tailored to your investment goals. Whether you are the trustee of a
retirement plan or an individual who has personal money to invest, we take the time to listen to your
needs in order to develop a customized plan that will strategically be adjusted throughout the years to
meet your financial objectives. We may use investor questionnaires which include a risk profile that
help us in determining your individual objectives and risk tolerance. We will also assist you with
identifying your investment objectives by assessing your risk tolerance based upon age, income,
need for cash flow, investment goals and emotional tolerance for volatility. Strategies are then
developed and implemented through an optimal combination of investments. When constructing
portfolios, we will determine how to allocate funds across different asset classes and securities. You
may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
Prior to engaging CMC to provide the described advisory service, the client will be required to enter
into a written agreement with CMC setting forth the terms and conditions under which CMC shall
render its services. Such contract shall remain in effect unless terminated by either party upon 30
days written notice. In providing the contracted services, we are not required to verify any
information we receive from you or from your other professionals (e.g. attorney, accountant, etc.).
Since we rely expressly
on the information that you provide, you must promptly notify our firm if
your financial situation, goals, objectives or needs change.
Selection of Third-Party Money Managers
CMC may also recommend that certain clients authorize the active discretionary management of a
portion of their assets by and/or among certain independent investment manager(s) either directly or
through a wrap fee program ("Independent Manager(s)"), based upon the stated investment
objectives of the client. The terms and conditions under which the client shall engage the
Independent Manager(s) shall be set forth in separate written agreements between (1) the client and
CMC and (2) the client and the designated Independent Manager(s). CMC shall continue to render
advisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of account performance,
for which CMC shall receive an annual advisory fee which is based upon a percentage of the market
value of the assets being managed by the designated Independent Manager(s). Factors that CMC
shall consider in recommending Independent Manager(s) include the client's stated investment
objective(s), management style, performance, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and
research. The investment management fees charged by the designated Independent Manager(s),
together with the fees charged by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the
client's assets, may be exclusive of, and in addition to, the Adviser's investment advisory fee set forth
above. As discussed above, the client may incur additional fees than those charged by CMC, the
designated Independent Manager(s), and corresponding broker-dealer and custodian.
In addition to CMC’s written disclosure statement, the client shall also receive the written disclosure
statement of the designated Independent Manager(s). Certain Independent Manager(s) may impose
more restrictive account requirements and varying billing practices than CMC. In such instances,
CMC may alter its corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate
those of the Independent Manager(s).
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
Managed Assets
All client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. As of December 31, 2022, Capital
Management Consultants’ assets under management totaled $84,089,195. All accounts and assets
under management were on a discretionary basis.
