Overview

Sterneck Capital Management LLC is an independent, privately owned RIA organized as an LLC and operating since 1993. The firm serves both individual and family clients and institutional investors, combining financial planning and discretionary portfolio management with client education through published newsletters and seminars. Its advised-fee model includes percentage-of-AUM arrangements alongside fixed fees and other billing structures. The firm does not identify as a capital allocator and is not an active ESG investor. Service delivery emphasizes traditional wealth-management functions—planning, portfolio construction, and ongoing client communications—rather than allocation to third‑party managers.
