Founded in 1999 by F Randall Smith, Terence Greene, James Magid, and Lauren Blum, Capital Counsel is an independent investment management firm based in New York City.We manage concentrated portfolios of large-cap and mid-cap companies based in the U.S., or those with large U.S. operations. We choose these stocks from ideas generated through the investment team's in-depth, bottom-up research efforts. Our disciplined investment process requires us to focus on how management runs their company.Our clients include high-net-worth individuals and their families, foundations and endowments. The source of wealth for many of our clients is ownership in successful businesses. Some are former executives of companies held in our clients' portfolios, who have become clients because they understand and respect our investment process.
