About Us

Octo Capital is a wealth management practice providing investment management and financial planning to families and individuals on a flat-fee basis.


Fiduciary Standard - We have a fundamental and legal obligation to act in our clients' best interests and to provide investment advice in accordance with our fiduciary responsibilities.


Based in Bingham Farms, Michigan, we serve clients locally and nationwide. 

Daniel Shub | Principal | Accredited Investment Fiduciary®

With a career spanning over 25 years in the financial industry, I founded Octo Capital in 2015 after becoming disillusioned with conventional financial management practices. My goal was simple: to provide tax-efficient, cost-effective investment strategies rooted in Nobel Prize-winning research, integrated with comprehensive financial and tax planning to help clients quantify their most important financial decisions.


In an industry often focused on serving more people with less time, I take a different approach. By intentionally serving a small, select group of clients, I ensure a high standard of service, dedicated attention to complex matters, and prompt, personal responses to every inquiry.


My diverse clientele includes educators, engineers, physicians, attorneys, business owners, and retirees. Based in the Detroit metropolitan area, I am proud to serve clients both locally and nationwide.


Originally from Ukraine, I have called Michigan home for more than 30 years. Beyond optimizing financial plans, I enjoy attending my son’s soccer games, exploring the arts, and spending quality time with my family.

Charles Schwab Advisor Services

As an independent advisor, we work with a third-party custodian, Charles Schwab, to safeguard your investments. Schwab ensures that your assets are held in a separate account under your name, and you have full access through the website and phone, while we have limited authority to manage the account on your behalf.

Dimensional Investing Brochure

Tune Out the Noise

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris turns his lens to an unlikely cast of upstarts who transformed the investment landscape in the documentary Tune Out the Noise. The film chronicles a group of academics at the University of Chicago in the 1960s whose groundbreaking research challenged Wall Street’s status quo and was used by firms like Dimensional Fund Advisors to disrupt traditional methods of investing, ultimately reshaping the way the world views markets.

Shot in Morris’s iconic style, Tune Out the Noise unfolds through revealing interviews with Nobel Prize-winning economists who have long-standing ties to Dimensional, including Eugene Fama, Robert Merton, and Myron Scholes. The film also features Dartmouth professor Ken French, who has co-authored numerous research papers with Fama, along with Dimensional founders David Booth and Rex Sinquefield, indexing pioneer Mac McQuown, former US Senator Bill Bradley, and many others.
