About
Appian Road LLC provides discretionary portfolio management to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, working with a small client base and reporting roughly $2.0 million in assets under management. The firm documents client objectives and risk tolerances in individualized investment policy statements and implements portfolios that primarily use exchange‑traded funds.
The firm’s investment approach blends fundamental and cyclical analysis with a long‑term trading orientation and typically limits recommended holdings to ETFs, using a single custodial relationship selected for low transaction costs and trading platform access. Appian Road operates as a solo advisory practice and seeks authority to trade on clients’ behalf to carry out its investment plans.
Notably, the firm is registered in connection with commodity trading advisor activity — an uncommon regulatory status for a one‑advisor independent firm — while its brochure also states it no longer recommends futures contracts. Operationally, Appian Road reports no soft‑dollar arrangements, does not participate in wrap fee programs, and does not aggregate block trades for multiple client accounts, features that distinguish its execution and research arrangements from many peers.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
