Lynx Capital

What Lynx Capital does

Lynx Capital Group Ltd is a private, family-owned investment management firm founded in 1996 and operating as a fee-only independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). The firm is headquartered in Ohio with a secondary office in Florida and serves high net worth individuals alongside institutional clients. Its core technology stack relies on ETF platforms and third-party custodial services; the firm has selected Fidelity as its custodian, providing clients with monthly statements and online portfolio access. The firm monitors over 150 ETFs sponsored by various institutions as part of its tactical investment process and operates with no proprietary technology platform, patents, or in-house trading infrastructure.

The firm delivers its services through three distinct investment strategies: a Dividend Growth Strategy built around high-quality dividend-paying companies (typically no more than 30 equally weighted positions), an ETF Tactical Tilt Investing strategy that uses a monitored universe of over 150 ETFs for tactical allocation across approximately ten positions, and an Unconstrained Fixed Income strategy that incorporates cash, treasuries, public debt, preferred stock, high dividend yielding equities, and income-producing ETFs. The firm supplements its strategies with quarterly Market Outlook reports and applies fundamental plus quantitative screening and valuation processes to portfolio construction.

Lynx Capital operates on a fee-only basis with advisory fees based on assets under management, eliminating commissions and product-based conflicts of interest. The firm is wholly family-owned with no external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds. Marketing is referral-driven, with existing clients described as the primary source of new business. The firm is led by Brian Chait, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager, who has 35+ years of investment experience and is a three-time winner of Forbes Magazine's Love Only One Stock contest.
