Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Mainstay Capital Management, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser organized as a limited liability company and operating since 2000. The firm is owned by an individual and focuses on serving individual and family clients, offering financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, and educational seminars and workshops. Its client billing mixes percentage-of-AUM fees with fixed-fee arrangements. Mainstay is not listed as an active ESG investor and does not act as a capital allocator; it appears to run client-facing advisory portfolios rather than operating a separate multi-manager platform. The firm has received industry recognition in recent years: it was named among Forbes’ Top RIA Firms in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and was included on CNBC’s Top 100 Financial Advisory Firms list in 2025.
