Investment Advisor Services:
Caprock provides continuous investment advice to clients and families based on their
individual needs. Through a series of personal discussions in which goals, objectives and risk
tolerances are established, Caprock develops a client's personal investment guidelines or
asset allocation and creates and manages a portfolio based on that policy or asset allocation.
Caprock will manage advisory accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client. Emphasis will be placed
on optimizing performance at the portfolio level while controlling risk through broad global
asset diversification. Clients are permitted to place reasonable restrictions on investing in
certain securities or industries.
Caprock may allocate all or a portion of a portfolio to investment managers in which client
accounts are managed by independent third-party investment managers. These programs
provide investment opportunities among various investments including stocks, bonds,
options, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, hedge funds, alternative investments and
other securities.
Based on a client's individual circumstances and needs, Caprock will allocate a portion of the
portfolio to an appropriate investment manager. Factors considered in making this
recommendation include account size, risk tolerance, the goals of each client and the
investment philosophy of the third-party investment manager(s). Caprock will assist the
client in reviewing investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, investment
restrictions and other relevant factors. Caprock will monitor the performance of the selected
investment manager(s). If Caprock determines that a particular selected investment
manager(s) is not providing sufficient management services to the client, or is not managing
the client's portfolio in a manner consistent with the client's personal investment guidelines
or asset allocation, Caprock will remove the client's assets from that selected investment
manager(s) and place the client's assets with another investment manager(s) at Caprock's
discretion (for discretionary accounts). Clients need to be aware that certain types of
investments by third party investment managers (limited, private offerings, hedge funds and
fund-of-funds) may be subject to lock-ups and/or other liquidity restrictions. If the account
is non-discretionary, Caprock will not remove the client from a selected manager and move
the account into a different manager without the client's
prior consent. Caprock will review
the aggregate fee charged by both Caprock and the selected investment manager(s) will be
fair and reasonable and will be competitive with those fees customarily charged in the
industry for similar services.
In addition to third party money management services, Caprock may allocate a portion of a
client's portfolio among other investments. In these cases, Caprock will primarily use various
exchange traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds within a client's portfolio. Under certain
circumstances, Caprock may also include some individual securities including equities,
options, bonds, corporate debt securities, municipal securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit and other investment products. Caprock will allocate the client's assets
among various investments taking into consideration the overall management objectives
identified by the client. The mutual funds will be selected on the basis of any or all of the
following criteria: the fund's performance history; the industry sector in which the fund
invests; the track record of the fund's manager; the fund's investment objectives; the fund's
management style and philosophy; and the fund's management fee structure. Portfolio
weighting between funds and market sectors will be determined by each client's individual
needs and circumstances. Clients may request to place reasonable restrictions on the types
of investments which will be made on the client's behalf.
Family Office Services:
In addition to traditional investment advisory services described in this disclosure document,
Caprock also provides Wealth Management and Family Office Services to select clients. These
services may include some or all of the following: coordination among advisors designated
by the Client (legal, estate, accounting, insurance, and banking), private & alternative
investment analysis, advice & reporting, private & alternative investment coordination
(capital call payments, management of distributions & liquidations), monthly balance sheet
reporting, lifetime discounted cash flow modeling and other ad hoc reports requested by the
Client. Family Office services may not be offered to all Caprock Clients and there are no
additional charges for these services. Caprock is compensated by the client on a percentage
of assets under management or a fixed fee arrangement for the assets Caprock advises on.
Fee arrangements are determined and affirmed by the client (via Caprock’s Investment
Advisor Agreement) at the onset of the relationship.
Consulting Services:
Caprock provides advisory services for individuals and institutions. This may include
formulating their investment strategy, updates and forecasts for various financial markets,
portfolio reviews, strategic asset allocation modeling, investment manager search &
selection, performance analysis and recommendations. Advisory services may also include
business consulting, advice on non-securities matters and any other specific consultation
regarding financial and investment concerns of the individual or institution.
