Saiph Capital
Saiph Capital launched in 2020 under CEO Brian Saxton, a CFP® professional who built the firm around the premise that a wealth manager should have no stake in the products it recommends. Headquartered in Wyckoff, New Jersey, the firm serves individuals, high-net-worth families, and a range of institutional clients including corporations, foundations, and endowments. The firm runs two parallel practices. Its private-wealth arm covers financial planning, asset allocation, trust and estate work, tax planning, cash management, and philanthropic advisory, with an explicit emphasis on sustainable and ESG-aligned strategies. The institutional side specializes in retirement-plan oversight: Saiph acts as an ERISA 3(21) fiduciary for plan sponsors, managing defined-benefit pensions, 401(k) plans, non-qualified deferred-compensation programs, and treasury and capital-planning mandates. The dual structure positions it to advise both the plan itself and the executives who participate in it. Saiph discloses no AUM, no count of professionals, and no named portfolio holdings. Its website signals a service model centered on impartiality and long-duration relationships rather than scale or transactional execution. The firm publishes market commentary and educational resources, framing its role as an extension of an internal finance team rather than a separate manager. Saiph’s structural distinction is its fiduciary-only stance paired with an absence of proprietary products. By operating without a broker-dealer affiliation or in-house fund complex, the firm can design tax-efficient portfolios and retirement-plan lineups without navigating the conflicts that arise when an advisor’s compensation is tied to distribution. This architecture suits family offices and private-business owners who want a conflict-free advisor for multigenerational planning but do not require a balance-sheet institution.

Frequently asked questions
Does Saiph Capital earn commissions on products it recommends?
Saiph states it holds no allegiance to any service provider or investment-product issuer, describing itself as impartial. This suggests a fee-only or fee-based advisory model, though the firm has not publicly filed an ADV that would settle the compensation structure definitively.
What kind of retirement-plan work does Saiph do?
Saiph serves as an ERISA 3(21) fiduciary, meaning it advises plan sponsors on investment selection and monitoring but does not take discretionary control of plan assets — that would be a 3(38) role. It works with 401(k) plans, defined-benefit pensions, and non-qualified deferred-compensation programs, alongside broader treasury and capital-planning services.
Who makes investment decisions at the firm?
CEO Brian Saxton is the only named investment professional on the firm's website. Saiph has not disclosed an investment committee, a CIO, or additional portfolio-management personnel in public materials.
Is Saiph Capital a single-family office?
No. Saiph is a wealth-management firm that serves multiple private clients and institutions. It is not structured as a single-family office, and no wealth origin from a specific family has been publicly identified.
Does the firm disclose its assets under management?
Saiph has not publicly disclosed AUM. Regulatory filings that might contain that figure are not available in the sources consulted.
