About Nicholas Short

Hi, I'm Nicholas Short. As a Financial Advisor at SYKON Capital, I am here to help ensure you get high-quality advice, delivered through a personalized lens that reflects your values, goals, and stage of life.

I was drawn to wealth management from my desire to build lasting relationships and make a meaningful impact on my clients’ lives. I find motivation in helping individuals and families gain financial clarity and confidence. My work blends analytical rigor with a personal, client-centered approach.

My role is to help you cut through complexity and make your financial decisions easier, not harder. I bring a thoughtful, organized approach to planning and investing, drawing on SYKON’s full bench of professionals with deep backgrounds across public markets, private investing, tax-aware planning, and wealth strategy. Together, we help ensure that no part of your financial world is left uncoordinated or unsupported.

I pride myself on my ability to connect the dots between strategy and execution. From my experience in investment consulting and commercial real estate, I can offer you a broad, multidimensional perspective while leveraging SYKON’s resources to tailor solutions that are as precise as they are practical.

What to expect in the first meeting

I look forward to speaking with you and appreciate the opportunity to learn about what you are seeking to gain from a relationship with a wealth manager. During the first meeting, I try to get a sense of what is important to you in your life, how your finances play a role, and any other dynamics that may impact what you are trying to achieve. We can then decide if it makes sense to move to the next step.

FAQs

What makes you different?
There are three things that set us apart: We go beyond dollars and cents by aligning your financial plan with your values and the life you want to live. Our team-based approach means you’re supported by the expertise of the whole SYKON team, with integrated financial planning, investments, tax strategy, and estate planning all under one roof. Because we’re independent, fee-only fiduciaries, every decision is made in your best interest.
What if my financial advisor isn’t available?
A core tenet of our team approach is that clients are never left waiting on one person. We work as a team, and each member brings their own area of expertise to the table. That means whether your advisor is tied up or out of office, another member of our team will already know who you are, understand your situation, and be ready to step in seamlessly. In fact, part of the SYKON experience is getting to know multiple team members over time. You’ll have a team of professionals who can anticipate your needs and provide consistent, high-quality guidance so you always feel supported and connected.
How do you charge?
We charge either a percentage of your assets or a flat fee. All fees will be presented to you in a clear and transparency way prior to working together and at all times during the relationship. We are fee-only fiduciaries who are bound to put your interests before our own. We follow the fiduciary standard, the highest standard of care in the industry, in all matters concerning our practice. We do not accept commissions as a compensation method.
Do I have to live in New York or Florida?
We work with clients across the country.
Is there a minimum account size?
We work with clients of all portfolio sizes. There is no minimum. Upon request, we are able to provide planning-only services where we solely provide financial planning without managing your assets.
Where will my money be held?
Your assets will be held at the custodians, Charles Schwab, Goldman Sachs or Altruist.
