Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Blackbear Capital, LLC is a small, independent RIA that focuses on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses while also operating as an insurance broker. The firm charges fees as a percentage of assets under management and manages both discretionary and non‑discretionary mandates. Its stated investment tilt favors equities, with a clear emphasis on exchange‑traded instruments as core portfolio holdings. The advisory scope is straightforward: comprehensive planning paired with portfolio implementation for individual and family clients. Blackbear Capital does not position itself as a multi‑state or pension consultant, nor does it emphasize ESG investing. Given the firm’s insurance activity, its product set includes insurance solutions and annuity strategies alongside the investment portfolios it manages.
