Clayton Capital Partners
Clayton Capital Partners is a Registered Investment Advisor headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with additional office locations spanning Mountain View, Valencia, San Francisco, Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and Paris. The firm describes itself as a 100% fee-only practice, meaning it has never received insurance commissions, referral fees, or any compensation other than direct client payments. From its inception as an independent boutique, CFG has operated under a full fiduciary standard, structuring its incentives to align exclusively with client interests. The firm's advisory scope covers investment planning, financial planning, tax planning, and estate planning, serving a client base that spans coast-to-coast in the United States. Beyond individual and family wealth management, CFG also advises companies on retirement plan management, constructing curated investment menus for employee participants. While the firm maintains a national footprint via its multiple offices, public detail on specific investment strategies, asset-class allocations, or portfolio construction methodologies is limited — the website emphasizes planning disciplines over explicit deployment mandates or asset-level disclosures. As of the most recent Altss research update in May 2026, publicly available information on Clayton Capital Partners' team size, headcount, or named leadership remains exceptionally thin. The firm's website does not list principals, investment committee members, or key advisors, and no LinkedIn presence has been captured in structured research records. No AUM figure or deployment total is disclosed. The firm's ADV and CRS filings are referenced but not publicly analyzed in available inputs, leaving key operational metrics — including total assets under advisement and number of client relationships — unconfirmed. Structurally, CFG's commitment to a fee-only fiduciary model represents its most distinct posture in a landscape where many advisory practices blend fee and commission revenue. The absence of product sales or third-party compensation eliminates a common conflict of interest. Its geographic spread, including an office in Paris, hints at cross-border capability, though the scope of international services is not detailed in public materials. The firm operates as a classic multi-service RIA — planning-led, fiduciary-bound, and deliberately low-profile regarding scale and personnel.
