Our Qualifications
CAP, founded in December 1986, is a small, independent, client-oriented firm that has access to an extensive menu of investment products and services through Third-Party Investment Managers and through a Broker Dealer arrangement with Grove Point Investments, LLC.

CAP uses education, experience, technology and professional affiliations to provide our clients with access to sophisticated money management alternatives, daily portfolio tracking and web access to account statements, worldwide communications and expertise in financial planning.
