Our Company

WHY WE WERE FOUNDED 

Founded in 1998, Stark Strategic Capital Management, Inc. began as a result of many firm personal beliefs that were developed by its owner, Scot L. Stark, while helping to plan the financial futures of others. The philosophies and perspectives began to develop, in part, due to the rapid growth of investors' assets in the 1990s and during the .com boom. This, in turn, created many misconceptions among investors about how and why this sudden wealth occurred. In general, many believed that they would continue prospering without regard to the types of investments, future tax consequences, the costs associated with these investments (e.g., fees, commissions, etc.), the amount of risk they were willing to assume, or where or with whom their money was placed. In short, many investors only believed they could succeed without regard, and turning a blind eye, to their overall financial picture. Obviously, these are fully unrealistic expectations. 

It was due to these growing investor misconceptions that helped form the convictions on which SSCM, Inc. was founded and are still used to day to provide investors with the proper framework for managing their finances, assessing their overall financial picture, and providing comprehensive wealth management and financial planning.
