About Us


Objective Capital Management is an independent boutique investment advisory firm. We work primarily with families and small to middle sized businesses through a fee-based advisory relationship, exclusively.  Our mission is to provide objective advice, sound guidance, and best in class execution. OCM was founded when our partners broke away from a major Wall Street investment bank in January of 2011. Their experience demanded that this firm be structured in a manner to create a "harmony of interests" between the firm and our clients.  Our clients pay us directly and we do not receive any compensation from anyone or anything other than our clients.  This is an important distinction as this aligns our own interests directly with our clients.  We are not affiliated with a parent company or global investment bank pressuring us to sell certain products, do multiple trades or allocate our portfolios in any particular asset.
