Ryan Ansted

Ryan Ansted is a Managing Partner and one of five owner-partners of Scarborough Capital Management, an Annapolis, Maryland–based registered investment advisory firm founded roughly 35 years ago that manages over a billion dollars in client assets on a discretionary basis. He has been with the firm (Scarborough Advisors, LLC dba Scarborough Capital Management) since 2013 and has more than 25 years of financial-industry experience. In his role he oversees the firm's 401(k) management, wealth management, and financial-planning operations, and helped lead the partner group that purchased the firm — a milestone he cites as a defining moment in his career. His fellow owner-partners include Ian Arrowsmith, Gregory Ostrowski, James Sprinkel, and Shawn Walker.

Ansted earned a BA/BS in Economics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He holds the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ (CRPC®) designation, FINRA Series 7 and 66 registrations, and is Life and Health Insurance licensed. His practice centers on retirement-plan advisory (especially employer 401(k) plans), comprehensive wealth management, and long-term-care/insurance planning for corporate plan sponsors and individual investors.

Important note on classification: The stub data provided labels Ryan Ansted as an "Angel Investor" doing "Seed Rounds." Research does not support this. He is a wealth- and retirement-management advisor and firm owner, not a startup angel investor — there is no evidence in public sources (Crunchbase, PitchBook, press, or the firm's own site) of him making seed-stage or angel investments in private companies. The "Angel Investors / Seed Round" categorization in the source record appears to be a data-aggregator misclassification. A founder seeking startup capital should not expect this contact to be a source of angel/seed funding.

• Manages public-market portfolios and retirement plans on a discretionary, fee-based basis — this is asset management for clients' savings, not venture investing.
• Core focus areas: 401(k)/corporate retirement plan advisory, wealth management, and long-term-care/insurance planning.
• Typical clients: pre-retirees, retirees, individual investors, and corporate retirement-plan sponsors — with financial-planning aligned to each client's goals and time horizon.
• Asset classes used: equities, fixed income, and insurance products — not private startup equity.
• No publicly stated angel/venture investment thesis exists, consistent with his role as a financial advisor rather than an early-stage investor.
