Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Castellan is an independent registered investment adviser that positions itself as a capital allocator for both high-net-worth families and institutional clients. The firm, SEC-registered in 2020, blends portfolio management and financial planning with sponsor/GP activity across pooled investment vehicles. Advisory services extend to individuals, small businesses, investment companies and pooled vehicles, and the firm also operates as an insurance broker. Castellan identifies as an active ESG investor and employs a mix of fee arrangements including percentage of AUM, fixed and hourly fees, and performance-based fees—consistent with its role managing both discretionary portfolios and sponsored private funds. Investment implementation tilts toward equities delivered predominantly through exchange-traded products, but Castellan also runs and allocates to private funds. Its organizational behavior shows direct involvement in alternative fund structures (sponsor, general partner, managing member) rather than purely serving as an allocator, signaling a hybrid model that combines client portfolio management with private fund sponsorship.
