We'd wholeheartedly recommend Elevate Capital and Ken Armstrong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent investment advisor.Posted on Google Michael McGee23 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For about fifty years, my pension was under the control of various firms selected by my employer. We were getting more frustrated with the lack of communication, performance, and the direction the “big guys” were headed. My first step after receiving an invitation to meet face to face was to check out their reputation, performance, and credentials. After a one-hour meeting, we transferred our assets to Elevate. We are most pleased and appreciate the level of communication, the operating philosophy, and performance we have seen in the last year. We especially appreciate the periodic updates on their perspective given ever changing events, market shifts, and approach. We highly recommend Elevate Capital Advisors. Mike and Carol MPosted on Google Robert23 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would say my top priority with an investment company is communication. Years ago, my wife and I had investors we never ever heard from. It felt like they just plopped our money wherever and never looked at it again. This isn't the case with Elevate. Ken, Shane and the Elevate team are in contact with us on a regular basis. Sometimes to just touch base and make sure we are happy with the way things are going, other times to calm fear in turbulent times. Also, as a blue collar worker my financial knowledge is limited. Ken and Shane take the time to explain things in an easy to understand way. Shane's monthly blog and podcast with Kyle are presented in a way that the layman can understand. These things are important to me and I thank the Elevate team for providing them! Robert HPosted on Google Carolyn Moorman23 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been clients of Elevate Capital Advisors for a number of years and our experience with the company has been outstanding. The team is comprised of consummate professionals; they are thorough, responsive, skilled and speak in terms that a layman can understand. We would highly recommend this group of financial experts.
Elevate Capital Advisors is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor headquartered in Eagle, Colorado.
Founded in 2017, Elevate Capital Advisors now advises over $200,000,000 as of September 30, 2025, on behalf of high net-worth individuals and families, corporations, family offices, charities, and others. From day one, our core philosophy has been simple: “Always tell you what we would want to know if our roles were reversed.”
While that may sound intuitive, it reflects a deliberate departure from the norms we observed in our prior industry experience where client interests were often secondary to firm priorities. We knew there was a better way. By staying true to our word and focusing on what truly serves our clients, we’ve built a firm that raises the standard through radical transparency, accountability, and genuine care.
Our minimum investment is $500,000 for traditional portfolio management.
- Direct access to advisors: no phone tree
- No products
- Zero disclosures: No regulatory or legal issues
- Dozens of successfully retired clients
- Relationships maintained for decades
- Creative solutions to risk management
- Experts in our craft as shown through continuous learning and credentials
Portfolio Management and Financial Planning Services
At Elevate Capital Advisors, we believe that the best way to minimize risk is to think. Our investment philosophy is rooted in discipline, transparency, and a deep respect for timeless principles of portfolio management. We don’t rely on proprietary secrets or flashy strategies, because there aren’t any. Instead, we follow a rigorous, repeatable process that has been shaped by the wisdom of the world’s greatest investors.
At its core, successful investing starts with a clear plan. While we can manage portfolios without a full financial plan, our experience shows that long-term results are far better when your investment policy is built on a solid financial foundation.
As the saying goes, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” A financial plan gives direction. It defines your limits and what we call your Family Index – the rate of return you need to live happily ever after. Instead of investing to survive, you can invest to thrive.
You should never risk money you can’t afford to lose in pursuit of money you don’t need to make. Determining your Family Index shifts the focus away from market benchmarks like the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or Dow, and puts it squarely on you: your goals, your boundaries, your future.
Clients don’t hire us for magic tricks. They hire us because we do the hard work, day in and day out, with consistency and integrity. We wake up early, we go home late (figuratively speaking), and we never compromise our process. We can’t guarantee success, but we work relentlessly to deserve it.
Whether we’re investing in high-quality businesses, navigating speculative opportunities, or managing risk in a volatile market, our goal is the same: to help you build and protect wealth with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Instead, we focus solely on what’s best for you, leveraging a wide range of solutions to help you achieve your financial objectives with clarity and confidence.
Together, these principles form the foundation of our practice -empowering you with advice you can trust, strategies that reflect your life, and a partnership built on integrity.
