Oncubic L.L.C. is owned by the original members of Capital Financial Advisors, L.L.C. and the owner of Leonard Wealth Management, Inc. The parent firms Capital Financial Advisors, LLC and Leonard Wealth Management, Inc. were founded as fee-only, fiduciary financial advisory firms serving high net worth clients. In large part due the firms’ successes and reputation in their communities, Oncubic was created to serve the demand for the institutional investment strategy offered to the clients of Capital Financial Advisors and Leonard Wealth Management.
Oncubic uses the same academically sound investment principles and access to the same exclusive institutional money managers used with the founding firms’ multi-million dollar clients, but is better suited to clients with a net worth less than $3,000,000. Oncubic clients still enjoy the low fee, conflict free fiduciary investment advisory services, but without the comprehensive wealth management services offered by its parent wealth management firms.
