Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Wainwright Investment Counsel LLC is an independent registered investment adviser that operates as a capital allocator for high-net-worth individuals, families and institutions. The firm runs both advisory mandates and pooled investment vehicles, and its services include portfolio management for individuals and businesses, selection of third‑party managers, pension consulting and educational seminars. It reports being an active ESG investor, and its fee model includes asset‑based fees, fixed fees and performance‑based arrangements — a structure that supports both traditional advisory accounts and sponsor/GP activity in pooled funds. A sizable portion of the firm’s practice is devoted to directing capital into private funds and other alternative strategies rather than purely discretionary public-market mandates. The firm also holds affiliations that indicate it can operate as a broker‑dealer link, a commodity pool operator or trading adviser and as sponsor or managing member of pooled vehicles, which aligns with a hands‑on role in structuring and managing alternative vehicles.
