Disciplined investing. Thoughtfully tailored.
Strategic wealth management for families, entrepreneurs, and multigenerational entities — built upon principles, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
An independent investment adviser.
An independent firm for complex wealth.
Highbrook Capital Partners serves families, entrepreneurs, executives, and multigenerational entities. Advisors are directly involved in evaluating investments and constructing allocations — there is no separation between research, advice, and decision-making.
Every recommendation is filtered through after-tax outcomes, long-term compounding, and clarity across complexity. Investment management is coordinated with tax planning, estate strategy, and the broader balance sheet.
Investment Management · Financial Planning · Tax Coordination · Estate & Trust Strategy · Concierge
Three principles, consistently applied.
What clients want, often missing.
Many prospective clients describe wanting more from their advisory relationship as wealth and complexity grow.
Model Portfolios
Off-the-shelf templates that don't reflect the client's actual balance sheet, exposures, or goals.
Purpose-Built Portfolios
Built from first principles. Every allocation constructed around specific client objectives and constraints.
Fragmented Coordination
Investments, tax planning, and estate strategy live in separate silos — rarely coordinated.
Integrated Decisions
Investment, tax, and planning conversations happen within the same team, coordinated with your CPA and attorney.
Reactive Advisors
Responsive when called, but rarely proactive. Managing accounts rather than driving outcomes.
Proactive Stewardship
Continuous oversight with deliberate adjustments — rebalancing, manager review, and tax-loss harvesting.
Lack of Visibility
No single view across accounts, entities, and custodians.
Family-Office Reporting
Real-time consolidated view across all accounts, with position-level transparency.
Four purpose-driven themes, interlocking.
Every portfolio is constructed from four themes. Asset classes serve different themes depending on role, structure, and client context.
Growth & Liquidity
Compounding · FlexibilityLong-duration capital appreciation with the flexibility to reallocate as conditions change.
- Core Equity
- Factor Tilts
- Concentrated
- Dividend Equity
- Structured Equity
Stability & Income
Preservation · Cash FlowDampens drawdowns and provides predictable income to support spending and reinvestment.
- Municipals
- IG Bonds
- Private Credit
- Dividend Equity
- Structured Equity
Tactical & Opportunistic
Dislocation · AsymmetryCapital deployed when markets misprice — event-driven, macro, and special situations with asymmetric setups.
- Micro / Event
- Special Situations
- Hedged Credit
- Liquid Alternatives
Differentiated Return
Alpha · DiversificationPrivate equity, private credit, and specialized strategies with return drivers uncorrelated to public markets.
- Private Equity
- Real Assets
- Hedged Credit
- Liquid Alternatives
Surgical, not blanketed.
Most wealth advisors apply the same handful of broad index exposures to every client. Highbrook starts from a wide library of strategies and selects only what fits each client's situation — by tax profile, time horizon, existing exposures, and objective.
Chosen for purpose, not coverage.
Thirty-plus strategies across eight categories — institutional-quality access we maintain, but never deploy wholesale. Each portfolio is built from the smaller subset that earns its place: precise exposures matched to the client's tax situation, liquidity needs, existing holdings, and the role each position plays in the whole.

One view — every account.
Built for complex wealth.
For clients with multiple entities, custodians, and private investments, traditional brokerage statements show only a fraction of the picture. Highbrook's reporting platform consolidates every position — managed and external — into a single, continuously updated view.
-
—
Real-time consolidation. Every account, entity, and custodian unified into one live view.
-
—
Position-level transparency. Full holdings detail — symbol, weight, value — not just summary balances.
-
—
External positions integrated. Externally held assets sit alongside managed accounts in the same picture.
-
—
Anywhere access. Mobile and desktop — same data, always current, secure delivery.
Beyond the statement.
Performance, holdings, income, activity, and private-market commitments — all consolidated, all current. Reporting designed for clients who need to understand more than a quarterly PDF can show.
Business exit & tax-efficient transition.
From liquidity event to long-term portfolio.
A longtime business owner, post-sale.
The sale of a private operating company generated a significant capital gain. The family had no investment framework in place to manage the proceeds — the vast majority of their net worth, concentrated in cash, with no structure for income, growth, or multigenerational planning.
Engaged prior to close.
Coordinated with legal and tax advisors. Allocated a portion into a systematic long/short equity strategy designed to generate capital losses applied against the gain from the sale. Complemented by asset location planning, estate coordination, and ongoing tax-loss harvesting.
Tax liability from business sale reduced by approximately thirty percent.
Tax efficiency through systematic loss realization across the portfolio.
Portfolio structured for preservation, growth, and income replacement.
Senior, experienced, directly involved.
Every advisor is directly involved in portfolio construction, manager evaluation, and strategic decisions — no separation between those who advise and those who invest.

01 Slide Endnotes
Who we are. Highbrook Capital Partners is an SEC-registered investment adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. The information presented reflects the firm's general approach and is not investment advice. $1M general account minimum; may be waived at the firm's discretion.
Why clients come to Highbrook. Generalized observations based on the firm's experience with prospective clients. Not every advisor exhibits these characteristics; individual experiences vary.
Portfolio building blocks. Portfolio building blocks shown are illustrative of strategies the firm may employ across client portfolios. Not all strategies are appropriate for or available to every client. Private investments and alternative strategies are generally limited to accredited investors and/or qualified purchasers as defined under federal securities laws and involve material risks, including illiquidity, leverage, limited transparency, and the potential loss of principal.
A different approach to building portfolios. Comparison is illustrative and intended to describe differences in portfolio construction philosophy, not to predict relative outcomes. A 60/40 portfolio and a multi-strategy portfolio have materially different risk, liquidity, fee, and tax characteristics. The "60/40 model" reference is to a hypothetical allocation of 60% global equities and 40% investment-grade fixed income and is not an investable security or a Highbrook-managed portfolio. Capability count reflects strategies the firm has researched or used and is updated periodically; not all capabilities are deployed in every client portfolio.
Investment process. Tax-loss harvesting and other tax-related strategies are subject to client-specific facts, IRS rules (including the wash-sale rule), and prevailing tax law. No assurance is given that any tax strategy will achieve its intended result. Clients should consult their own tax advisor.
A coordinated wealth platform. Highbrook does not provide legal or tax advice. Estate and tax-planning concepts are presented for illustrative and informational purposes and should be reviewed with qualified legal and tax advisors. Monte Carlo, probability-of-success, retirement income, and cash-flow projections are hypothetical, based on assumptions that may not materialize, and do not represent actual or guaranteed results. Inputs and outputs change as client circumstances and market conditions change.
One view, every account. The account values, allocations, and time series shown do not represent any actual client account or actual investment results. The platform shown is the firm's portfolio-reporting system; client data shown is illustrative.
Beyond the statement. Dashboard screens are mockups for illustration of platform capabilities. Position names, values, returns, and call amounts are not actual investments and are not indicative of any client experience or any manager's performance.
02 Case Study Disclosure
This case is one example selected to illustrate the firm's approach to a specific situation. It was not selected based on performance and is not necessarily representative of client experiences generally. The firm has clients for whom outcomes differed, including clients for whom tax strategies did not produce comparable results. Cases were not selected from a defined universe through an objective performance-based screen.
Tax liability estimate. The approximately 30% reduction reflects the estimated reduction in this client's federal capital-gains tax liability resulting from the use of available short-term capital losses generated by the long/short equity strategy, based on the client's marginal tax rate and the size of the offset. The figure reflects tax outcomes only, not investment performance, and does not account for advisory fees, strategy fees, trading costs, or the market risk of the long/short strategy itself, which may produce gains or losses independent of any tax benefit.
Ongoing tax efficiency. Tax-loss harvesting and similar strategies are subject to IRS rules including the wash-sale rule; results depend on client facts. Long/short strategies involve short-selling risk, leverage, and may produce losses that exceed any tax benefit. No assurance is given that any client will achieve comparable tax or investment results.
03 General Information & Purpose of Presentation
General information. Highbrook Capital Partners, LLC ("Highbrook") is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration with the SEC does not imply any level of skill or training. Additional information about Highbrook, including its services, fees, and conflicts of interest, is available in the firm's Form ADV Part 2A, which is available upon request and at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Purpose of this presentation. This presentation is provided for discussion and informational purposes only. It is not investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, strategy, or service. Nothing herein should be construed as a recommendation to engage in any transaction or to adopt any investment strategy. Any investment involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Forward-looking statements. Statements regarding portfolio construction, manager evaluation, tax outcomes, market conditions, and similar matters reflect the firm's current views and are subject to change without notice. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions that may not be realized. Actual results may differ materially from any views, expectations, or projections expressed in this presentation.
04 Illustrative Content
Charts, dashboards, screenshots, asset-allocation diagrams, capability menus, case studies, and other graphical content in this presentation are illustrative and are intended to describe Highbrook's general approach. They are not actual client accounts, actual investment results, or recommendations to invest in any specific strategy. Account values, allocations, performance figures, fund names, and committed-capital figures shown in dashboard mockups are fabricated for purposes of illustration only.
05 Tax-Related Strategies
Tax-loss harvesting, asset location, and similar tax-aware practices are general strategies the firm may employ. Their effectiveness depends on client-specific facts, the timing of transactions, applicable tax law (including, without limitation, the wash-sale rule and short-term/long-term character of gains and losses), and other factors outside the firm's control. No assurance is given that any tax strategy will achieve its intended result. Highbrook is not a CPA or law firm and does not provide tax or legal advice; clients should consult their own qualified tax and legal advisors.
06 Estate & Financial Planning
Estate planning, trust structuring (including GRATs, SLATs, and charitable strategies), Monte Carlo and probability-of-success modeling, retirement-income projections, cash-flow forecasts, and similar planning outputs are informational and hypothetical. They are based on assumptions — including assumptions about future returns, inflation, longevity, tax law, and contributions — that may not be realized. Outputs change as inputs change. Highbrook does not provide legal advice; clients should engage qualified attorneys for the drafting, execution, and review of any legal documents.
07 Private Investments & Alternatives
References to private equity, private credit, hedged credit, structured equity, special situations, real assets, liquid alternatives, and similar strategies are descriptions of capabilities the firm may use in client portfolios. Such strategies are generally limited to investors who qualify as "accredited investors" and/or "qualified purchasers" as those terms are defined under federal securities laws. Private investments involve material risks, including illiquidity, limited transparency, leverage, lengthy lock-up periods, capital-call obligations, valuation uncertainty, fees and expenses that may be substantial, and the potential loss of the entire investment. Suitability depends on the specific facts and circumstances of each investor.
08 Comparisons & Capability Menu
Comparisons. Comparisons between Highbrook's approach and a generic "60/40" allocation, model portfolios, or other industry practices are illustrative and are intended to describe differences in portfolio construction philosophy. They are not predictions of relative performance. Portfolios with different objectives, risk profiles, asset classes, liquidity profiles, fees, and tax characteristics are not directly comparable. A 60/40 reference allocation is hypothetical and not an investable Highbrook product.
Capability menu. The firm's reference to "30+ capabilities" reflects strategies the firm has researched, evaluated, or used across client portfolios. The list is updated periodically. Not every capability is appropriate for or available to every client, and not every capability is in active use at any given time.

References to custodians (including Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers), prior employers of team members, software providers, and third-party fund sponsors are factual references and do not constitute endorsements, sponsorships, or testimonials.
