Thomas Capital Management

Thomas Capital Management

Thomas Zaleski founded Thomas Capital Management in 1999 after a career that began at Hughes Aircraft Company and included stints at major Wall Street firms (per the firm website). He earned his IRS Enrolled Agent designation in 1993. The firm positions itself as independent investment advisors, explicitly distinguishing its client relationships from commissioned stockbrokers or insurance salesmen. The firm builds individual portfolios of equities and fixed income securities, focusing on retirement funding, retirement planning, and college savings. It says it handles 100% of clients' money and shifts portfolios away from high-risk tech toward diversified Modern Portfolio Theory allocations. No direct investments, fund commitments, or named portfolio companies are cited. The firm does not disclose its AUM or geographic allocation beyond a US client base. Thomas Zaleski is the sole named principal. The firm lists a contact address in Scottsdale, Arizona, and an additional location reference in Sedona where Zaleski lives. No team size is public. No adjacent vehicles, philanthropic structures, or industry group memberships are disclosed. The firm has not reported a material operational event in the past 24 months. The firm's structural differentiator lies in its independence — it claims no bias beyond client objectives and no proprietary product push. This contrasts with the commission-driven model Zaleski encountered at Wall Street firms. The firm functions as a classic independent RIA, not a family office or institutional asset manager.
