Full Sail Capital

Full Sail Capital

Full Sail Capital was established in 2018 by Scott Cravens, James Pickel, and Steven Scott, three practitioners with prior experience in Oklahoma's financial services sector. The firm registered with the SEC as an investment advisor, adopting a fiduciary model that distinguishes it from the transactional brokerage culture prevalent among regional Midwestern competitors. From its base in Oklahoma City, the firm advises individuals, high-net-worth families, and business entities on integrated wealth management and financial planning. The firm's strategy centers on discretionary portfolio management, where in-house investment decisions replace third-party model portfolios. Its asset-class exposure spans public equities, fixed income, and alternatives, selected to match individual client objectives rather than a house view. Client accounts access separately managed portfolios, with the firm retaining trading authority under a limited power of attorney. The geographic focus remains Oklahoma and the surrounding southern plains region, serving clients whose wealth derives from local energy, real estate, and privately held operating businesses. Steven Scott leads investment decisions as Chief Investment Officer, while Cravens and Pickel manage client relationships and firm operations as CEO and President, respectively. Full Sail Capital does not publicly disclose total assets under management or team size. The firm has not launched adjacent vehicles such as philanthropic foundations, real-asset arms, or club investment structures. In recent years, its public footprint has remained limited to regulatory filings and its corporate website. Structurally, Full Sail Capital operates as a partnership-owned RIA — a governance model that embeds client-facing principals in ownership and compensation decisions. This architecture avoids the dual pressures that shape bank-owned trust departments, where lending relationships and proprietary product distribution can influence advisory recommendations. For regional clients seeking fiduciary advice outside a banking framework, the firm offers an alternative built entirely around the advisor-client relationship.
