Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Permcap Investment Office operates as a limited partnership and an independent SEC-registered RIA (since 2011) that functions as a capital allocator for both high-net-worth individuals/families and institutional clients. Ownership is held by an individual, and the firm offers multiple fee arrangements — percentage of AUM, fixed fees, and performance-based fees — reflecting a mix of advisory mandates and private fund management. Its advisory scope includes financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, management of pooled investment vehicles and institutional/business portfolios, and selection of third‑party advisers. Permcap also serves as sponsor/GP/managing member of pooled vehicles rather than only acting as a pure advisor. The firm does not identify as an active ESG investor.
