Overview

Founders Capital Management Inc is an independent registered investment adviser that focuses on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses. The firm operates on a percentage-of-AUM fee model and has been SEC-registered since 1995. Its client base is concentrated on individual and family relationships rather than institutional mandates, and it does not position itself as a capital allocator to external alternative managers. Investment activity is concentrated in publicly traded securities, with a strong preference for equities and exchange-traded instruments. The firm’s 13F filings show a diversified set of holdings across roughly 390 positions, with its largest single position held in the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ), indicating meaningful exposure to large-cap growth/technology benchmarks alongside broader equity allocations. Founders Capital is not flagged as an active ESG investor.
