Our Story
NEST Capital was founded with a focused mission: to help financial advisors find a better path to independence: to help guide the client experience and to provide more optionality to their own business, continuity, or succession plans. NEST Capital supports a goals-based independent-platform solution with a range of affiliation models custom tailored to YOUR practice.

Affiliation Models
The great news is that regardless of how you affiliate, you will have realized the dream of working for yourself. Unbiased Advice... Customized Service... An Accretive Business. All while running your practice with access to industry-leading resources and applying the care and attention to which your clients have grown accustomed.
For those who like and appreciate the balance of responsibilities with your current office but want more flexibility while operating and advising clients on an independent platform. You understand that what you enjoy most about this business is working with people. You want to delegate those time-consuming functions like compliance, operations, marketing, and research to our highly experienced team. Unlike before, this truly is Your Business, Your Process, Your Advice.....to do what is in the best interest of YOUR clients. Full affiliation is the model with the most practice-provided support and with all the benefits of being independent.
For the most entrepreneurial-minded advisors. You want to hang your own shingle, but you still value a few outsourced functions in operations or compliance, for example. You feel the call to not only work IN the business but ON the business too, but you also know when to delegate responsibilities and might wish to take management, compliance, and/or HR functions off your plate. We have a tailored solution for this scenario as well. Affiliation Lite is a Supported-DIY solution operating more hands-on and more autonomously on the business.
Why Nest
For you.
For your clients.
For your legacy.
When financial advisors first start out, they're often led to believe that the business they build is truly their own. However, the reality can be far from it. Despite delivering unbiased advice and building strong client relationships, advisors may find that their broker-dealer claims a significant stake in those relationships. Many times, the broker-dealer may behave as if these client relationships were built more on their reputation, despite the efforts of the Financial Advisor
What also may happen is a misconception about what it means to be independent. Many advisors are deterred from going independent because they're told it means sacrificing time with clients to handle administrative tasks. At NEST Capital, we're here to challenge that misconception.
We believe there is a better path to independence, where your business is yours alone. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment that allows you to reap the benefits of owning your own practice. By partnering with us, you'll be able to:
- Maintain control over your business and client relationships.
- Focus on what you do best – delivering exceptional service to your clients.
- Enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with independence.
Join us at NEST Capital and discover a better way to build and grow your financial advisory business. NEST Capital...for you...for your clients...for your legacy.
Your Goals
What happens when you retire? Your clients get redistributed by the branch and may be assigned to advisors not of your choosing. Why not take control of that process and choose your own successor: one you trust to take as good a care of your clients as you have. No one knows your clients better than you. And they trust your judgement and recommendations. Choose a successor that you TRUST.
Your career is about to takeoff. Your runway is still long. Retirement is over the horizon and you have big plans for your practice, your associates, and your clients. Finding a trusted partner who can take care of administrative tasks frees you up to focus on even greater growth.
NEST Capital can serve as your continuity partner buying you time until your successor is ready to take over the business.
"Once I made the decision to move my practice, I spent a great deal of time doing research for the “right fit.” They say in real estate it's “Location, Location, Location.” For me, as an advisor joining another practice, it was “Culture, Culture, Culture.” When I met with Lisa Katterhenry Howe, CFP® - Owner, Senior Financial Advisor and Eric Haubert - Owner, Senior Financial Advisor, it was clear that we shared the same priorities and philosophies for our clients and associates. They have created that successful culture and joining Katterhenry Investment Group [NEST Capital] has been one of the best investment decisions of my career!”
