About

Astra Ventures provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to high‑net‑worth and individual clients, select institutional accounts, and serves as investment adviser to privately offered pooled investment vehicles. Services described in the brochure include ongoing portfolio management, targeted investment objective services (including recommending third‑party private funds), and a flat‑fee investment research and trade idea exchange.

The firm combines fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis and may implement long‑term, tactical, options‑related and discretionary macro strategies across client accounts. Astra Ventures is also registered with the NFA as a Commodity Trading Adviser and discloses use of derivatives and commodity‑linked instruments (including futures, swaps, options and FX futures) in its strategies and CTA activities, and it manages all reported assets on a discretionary basis.

Astra Ventures’ profile is unusual for a two‑advisor firm in that it acts as adviser and affiliate to private funds and other pooled vehicles, provides portfolio management for those pooled vehicles, and has filed for relief under CFTC Regulation 4.7 to limit CTA services to Qualified Eligible Persons. The brochure also documents governance and conflict‑mitigation measures specific to the firm, including an independent audit/surprise examination process for funds and an explicit prohibition on firm personnel, household members and clients trading a public company in which a firm principal serves as a director.

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.
