Integrated
We coordinate every area of your financial life under one roof. Investments, retirement, taxes, estate, and business interests all working together toward the same goals.
Highly Personalized
No two clients are the same and no two strategies should be either. We build every approach around the specific goals, timeline, and circumstances of the individual in front of us.
Experienced
With more than 35 years of wealth management experience in Durango and Southwest Colorado, our team brings deep expertise and long-term perspective to every client relationship.
Here's How We Got Started
The Begining
The Beginning Animas Capital Management was founded in Durango, CO as an independent, comprehensive financial planning and asset management firm. From day one, the mission was simple: provide objective, conflict-free wealth management advice to individuals, families, and business owners who deserved better than a commission-driven sales model.
Growing Our Roots
More than a decade into serving the Durango community, Animas Capital Management deepened its commitment to Southwest Colorado. Our client relationships grew longer, our services expanded, and our reputation for independent, relationship-first wealth management became the foundation everything else was built on.
Expanding Our Expertise
As the financial landscape grew more complex, so did our capabilities. We broadened our service offering to address the full spectrum of client needs, from retirement income strategy and estate planning to business owner wealth management and tax coordination, all under one integrated roof.
Leading with Innovation
Today, Animas Capital Management continues to evolve. We are proud to offer Defined Outcome ETF strategies through ETFs, bringing institutional-grade downside protection to individual investors in Durango and across Southwest Colorado. Our commitment to independent, client-first wealth management has never been stronger.
We Always Put Your Interests First
At Animas Capital Management, your interests are not a priority among many. They are the only priority. We built this firm on the principle that financial advice should be genuinely independent, completely objective, and entirely focused on the person receiving it. We take a hands-on approach to every client relationship, collaborating closely to understand your full financial picture and craft a strategy that is practical, personalized, and built to last.
