built to benefit you.

our foundation.

Blue River Capital Management is built upon the founders’ competitive spirit. We seek to implement industry best practices in all areas of our business and pair it with our belief that incremental improvements—in all areas—compound over time. The singular objective is providing our clients with the best possible experience.

your interests first.

As fiduciaries, we are required to put client interests first, even when doing so is detrimental to us. We pride ourselves in providing unbiased advice to our clients, no matter the situation.

up-leveling the status quo.

As millennials, we have grown up with technology, a skepticism of the hierarchical status quo, and an emphasis on teamwork. Looking at the financial services industry as it currently exists, we see ways to improve on these key areas with direct benefit to you.  Knowing that we will be working for decades to come, we embrace new technologies to improve workflows and collaborate more efficiently internally and with you, allowing us to charge you less.

a fee structure you can rely on.

Our tiered fee structure starts at 0.85% per year and decreases for larger accounts, and we have no investment minimum. The days of the industry standard 1% advisor fee and high minimum investments are over. In addition, we implement low-cost, tax efficient ETFs instead of outdated, high fee mutual funds, saving our clients even more.

flexibility for your situation.

As a fully independent, fee-only RIA, we conduct our own in-house research and are not incentivized to allocate to any specific fund or investment. We receive no commissions for trades and do not sell insurance or annuity products to clients. Our fees are structured to align with your best interest, so we can focus our time on helping our clients reach their goals.
