Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Desert Capital Management Group, Inc. is a small corporate advisory firm focused on portfolio management for individual and family clients and small businesses. The firm’s asset mix is heavily equity-oriented: its registered activity shows a clear preference for exchange-traded equities and ETF-style exposures, with client accounts structured largely as separately managed or non-discretionary arrangements. Fee arrangements combine a percentage-of-AUM component with commission-based activity, which aligns with a hybrid servicing model where clients may retain trading authority or engage in transactional purchases alongside advisory relationships. The firm does not position itself as an ESG-driven manager and operates within a single-state footprint.
