BALLAST CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC

Overview

Ballast Capital Advisors, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser that works primarily with individual and family clients and small businesses. The firm leans strongly toward a fixed-income orientation, allocating a significant portion of client portfolios to investment-grade corporate bonds while offering comprehensive financial planning and discretionary portfolio management. Ballast operates as a limited liability company with an owner-type listed as an individual and uses a mix of percentage‑of‑AUM and fixed-fee billing. Investment activity centers on managing separately managed account (SMA) style mandates with a conservative bias. Ballast is not positioned as a broad capital allocator — instead it crafts customized portfolios for a relatively small client base and serves as sponsor/GP/managing member of pooled investment vehicles, which indicates they also operate proprietary or sponsor-led investment vehicles alongside client accounts. The firm does not identify as an active ESG investor. Ballast registered with the SEC in 2021 and maintains a focused advisory scope: financial planning services and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses.
