About

Aull & Monroe provides discretionary investment management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, charitable organizations and corporate entities. Services include individually tailored portfolio management, retirement plan consulting and fiduciary plan services (including 3(38) investment manager roles and non‑discretionary 3(21) advice), as well as participant education for self‑directed plans.

The firm’s investment approach is long‑term and oriented to balanced portfolios of high‑quality equities, investment‑grade bonds and a cash reserve, with the option to manage all‑stock or mutual fund/ETF portfolios; portfolios are custom‑built for each client and guided by Modern Portfolio Theory. Aull & Monroe emphasizes low portfolio turnover, diversification, and ongoing performance monitoring against modeled indices, and may include instruments such as MLPs where appropriate.

What distinguishes Aull & Monroe among similar team firms is its combination of an established, small partner‑led team managing over $323 million across roughly 180 client relationships, reflecting a relatively high assets‑per‑client focus and individualized service. The firm also documents formal ERISA fiduciary arrangements for plans (3(38) discretionary management), maintains a policy of voting proxies on clients’ behalf through a third‑party platform, and delivers detailed quarterly reports comparing performance to relevant benchmarks.

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.
