Built to serve individuals, not institutions
Independent. Experienced. Fiduciary.
From Wall Street to personal wealth management
Over three decades of independent perspective

Sterneck Capital Management began in 1989 as a New York City–based hedge fund with one defining purpose: to serve the individual, not the institutional. Over time, we evolved to give individuals and families access to the same level of insight and sophistication once reserved for large institutions.
Today, we continue that mission as a fee-only fiduciary firm, offering financial planning and investment management designed around each client’s goals. Our relationships are built for the long-term, and many span multiple generations.
Depth of experience, diversity of thought
A team united by trust and expertise
Our advisors bring a mix of Wall Street insight, Fortune 500 leadership, and advanced financial credentials to every relationship.
