Every portfolio is assembled from building blocks we call sleeves. Each sleeve has a written purpose and a defined set of holdings, so you always know what you own and why. The sleeves combine into six model families, each with a different objective and style of management.
Long-term growth with a steady, hands-off discipline.
Broad, low-cost exposure to stocks, bonds and real assets. Target weights follow your risk level, and the portfolio is rebalanced on a schedule rather than in reaction to headlines.
The Strategic core, plus a measured position in digital assets.
Some exposure to bitcoin and other digital assets inside the same disciplined, rebalanced framework. The digital sleeve is sized to your risk level.
Adapt to changing markets while keeping long-term targets.
Starts from the same long-term weights as Strategic, then tilts within each sleeve as conditions change: which sectors to favor, how much rate and credit risk to take in bonds, and the mix of real assets.
Active management across every sleeve, digital assets included.
The Tactical approach with a digital asset sleeve that is also managed actively, so exposure can widen or narrow as that market develops.
High current income, matched to when you need the money.
Pairs perpetual preferred equities with a ladder of U.S. Treasury funds. Offered in five durations, Ultra Short to Ultra Long, to fit your time horizon. Aims for more income than traditional bonds, with more price movement.
Exposure to asset classes that may matter more in the future.
Emerging, non-traditional asset classes and alternatives that may play a larger role in portfolios over time: next-generation income strategies, digital assets, and the companies building around them. Expect more volatility than traditional models.
Each family is offered across a range of risk levels, from conservative to aggressive, except Next-Gen Income, which is offered by duration. Digital asset exposure is included only when it fits your goals and risk tolerance.
Required to act in your best interest, not a firm's or a fund company's.
No commissions, no 12b-1 fees, no referral payments.
Written rules that stay consistent across market cycles.
Held at Altruist in your name, never by us.
Risk level chosen from your goals and comfort, not age alone.
Set the four dials to what feels closest to your preferences. We’ll surface a model family worth learning more about with Tucker. This is an educational guide, not advice or a recommendation.

After seven years advising clients at Edward Jones, Fidelity, and Ameriprise, I saw the same pattern repeat: good advice bent around product quotas and firm mandates.
I started McGee Capital Management to work the other way around. There is nothing to sell you. Your plan and your portfolio are built from your goals, your taxes, and your timeline, and I'm paid only by the fee you see.
I work with clients at every stage: early wealth builders, families in their peak earning years, pre-retirees, and those already living on their savings. Your assets stay in your name at Altruist, an independent custodian, with direct online access and clear reporting.
I also write research for clients when markets give them something to think about, so you hear from me before you have to ask.
Tell us a little about where you are and what you're working toward. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
Thank you. Tucker will reply within one business day.
