Riggs Capital Management

Riggs Capital Management

Riggs Capital Management launched in 2002 as an SEC-registered investment advisory firm based in American Fork, Utah. It served individuals, retirement accounts, and high-net-worth clients nationwide. The firm built its reputation on portfolio customization, matching each client's targeted return objectives and risk tolerance. The investment approach centered on broad asset-class diversification, continuous analysis, and deliberate minimization of taxes and transaction costs. The firm focused on traditional wealth management services — investment management and financial planning — rather than direct private-market deals or fund commitments. No specific portfolio companies, co-investors, or geographic concentrations beyond the United States are publicly disclosed. On May 30, 2025, Riggs Capital Management merged with Merit Financial Advisors. The announcement confirmed the same team, local office in American Fork, and client resources would continue, now backed by Merit's expanded support and services. Structurally, the merger shifts Riggs from a standalone boutique to a unit within a larger financial-advisory platform. The firm's architecture now depends on Merit's infrastructure for technology, cybersecurity, and operational scale. No named principals or succession details appear in any public source.
