Important Disclaimers
& Risk Information

Please read these important disclosures regarding our investment advisory services, SEC registration, and risk information. Last updated: December 2024.

Important Risk Disclosure

All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Please read all disclosures carefully before making any investment decisions.

SEC Registration

Capital Ideas, Inc. is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. SEC registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training, nor does it constitute an endorsement by the SEC.

Our registration information is available through the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.

A copy of our current Form ADV Part 2A and Part 2B are available upon request and can be found on our Form ADV & CRS page.

Investment Advisory Services

Capital Ideas provides investment advisory services to individuals, families, and institutions. Our services include:

  • Investment management and portfolio supervision
  • Financial planning and consultation
  • Asset allocation and investment strategy development
  • Risk assessment and management

We act in the best interests of our clients and are legally obligated to act in their best interests. Our fee structure is disclosed in our Form ADV Part 2A, and we do not receive commissions from the sale of investment products.

Investment Risks

All investments carry risk, and clients should be prepared to bear the risk of loss. Key risks include but are not limited to:

  • Market Risk: The risk that securities prices will decline due to market factors
  • Credit Risk: The risk that bond issuers may default on their obligations
  • Interest Rate Risk: The risk that changing interest rates will affect bond prices
  • Inflation Risk: The risk that inflation will erode purchasing power
  • Liquidity Risk: The risk that investments cannot be sold quickly at fair market value
  • Concentration Risk: The risk of investing too heavily in a single security or sector

We work with each client to assess their risk tolerance and develop appropriate investment strategies. However, no investment strategy can guarantee profits or protect against losses.

Performance Disclosures

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment performance can be affected by market conditions, economic factors, and individual security selection. Key considerations:

  • Performance results may vary significantly among clients based on individual circumstances
  • Returns are calculated net of advisory fees unless otherwise specified
  • Benchmark comparisons may not reflect the same risk profile as client portfolios
