Fundstrat Capital is an SEC-registered investment adviser headquartered in New York, offering discretionary managed-account portfolios. The firm transforms macro and equity research from Fundstrat Global Advisors into managed investment products for clients. Although Fundstrat Capital operates as a distinct legal entity, it shares key personnel and research infrastructure with Fundstrat Global Advisors, including co-founder Thomas J. "Tom" Lee and Mark L. Newton. ^{[1] [2]}​

Founding

Fundstrat Capital's SEC filings — specifically a fund prospectus and a Code of Ethics document — independently state the firm "became an SEC-registered investment adviser in 2024" and that it "was formed in June 2024." These statements are consistent with the firm's team page, which describes a Spring 2024 founding. On balance, 2024 is the well-supported founding year; earlier reporting that listed a late-2023 date appears to be a less reliable source.

Relationship to Fundstrat Global Advisors

Fundstrat Global Advisors is an independent research advisory firm co-founded by Tom Lee in September 2014, after his tenure as the Chief U.S. Equity Strategist at JPMorgan. The firm has expanded to employ more than 30 full-time staff and serves clients like hedge funds, mutual funds, and family offices in over 26 countries. Fundstrat Global Advisors was one of the first Wall Street firms to offer institutional coverage of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. ^{[3] [2]}
