Frequently asked questions
Does Financial Advantage Advisors invest in private companies, venture capital, or alternatives?
No. The firm runs a long-only public equity strategy and does not participate in venture capital, private equity, real estate, or hedge fund allocations. This singles-asset-class mandate distinguishes it from most multi-family offices and wealth management platforms serving technology wealth.
How does the firm charge for its services?
Financial Advantage Advisors employs a fee structure aligned with long-term compounding outcomes rather than asset gathering, charging a management fee on assets under advisement. The firm does not charge performance fees, does not receive placement fees from fund managers, and does not participate in revenue-sharing arrangements with product providers.
How does the firm source and retain clients?
Clients come almost entirely through Bay Area technology networks and word-of-mouth referral. The firm does not market, does not maintain institutional consultant relationships, and does not appear on retail advisor platforms. Its client base consists of founders, early employees, and executives who self-select into the concentrated, long-duration philosophy.
What sectors does the firm explicitly avoid?
The firm avoids sectors where it lacks domain advantage, including energy and commodities, materials, deep cyclicals, and capital-intensive industrials. It also avoids biotechnology, where binary FDA-outcome risk is incompatible with the concentrated-portfolio structure, and anything requiring leverage or shorting to generate returns.
