About Mainstay Capital Management, LLC

Investing is much more complicated today than it was several years ago. The variety of mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds, and international securities continues to grow. With so many choices and increasingly volatile financial markets, it has become more difficult for individual investors to monitor their own portfolios and make timely investment decisions. However, the decisions an investor makes today and in the future can significantly affect his or her long-term financial security.

Mainstay Capital Management, LLC (MCM) was founded to help investors who do not have the time or inclination to give their retirement savings accounts and other investments the thorough research and analysis they require. Through our portfolio development and management process, MCM takes full advantage of the investment options available in a client’s 401(k), 403(b), IRA, or other type of managed account to meet his or her long-term goals and tolerance for risk. Additionally, with our staff of Certified Financial Planners^TM  and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselors^SM, Mainstay Capital Management can offer counsel and develop comprehensive solutions for any financial aspect of your life.

Mainstay Capital Management is an independent, fee-only, Registered Investment Advisor with more than $1.3 billion under management. Unlike many other firms, MCM has no ties to, nor receives commissions or compensation from any broker, mutual fund company, banking institution, or insurance company. We offer truly objective investment advice with only our clients’ best interests in mind.
