Fair Park Capital Management is a small boutique registered investment advisory firm. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Founded in 2021, the firm focuses on helping individuals, families and small businesses achieve their financial goals. As a fiduciary, we place our client’s interest first, which means our success is firmly rooted in the success of our clients.
Our mission is to enrich client lives by helping them make sound well informed financial decisions and successfully navigating financial markets.
Our process begins by listening to you and gaining a deep understanding of your financial needs, goals, and risk tolerance. We then work with you to develop a strategy and implement them. Because we all know that life happens, we provide ongoing monitoring, annual reviews, and remain flexible to make appropriate adjustments along the way.
Our investment philosophy governs the way we build and manage client portfolios. We know that historical returns from most active portfolio managers statistically tend to lag passive market returns over an extended investment time horizon. We also know that a quality active manager can potentially provide consistent outsized returns compared to passive market returns. We believe our active management style can provide consistent market beating returns, however, we also remain humble.
At Fair Park Capital Management, we employ a hybrid portfolio management style. Combing both passive and active strategies in a custom built portfolio, tailored to each individual clients goals and risk tolerance. The core of our clients assets are allocated into passive strategies, in line with what history and statistics show as the most probable long term winning strategy. We then layer on top of the core holdings, a tactical sleeve which leverages our success as active portfolio managers to provide additional returns above and beyond passive market returns. This means that our clients and their portfolios are built and managed to try and capture the best of both worlds.
