About

Benin Management Corporation serves individual investors—including high-net-worth clients—and a range of institutional clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers discretionary investment management along with retirement plan consulting, sub‑advisory services, and advisory support on matters such as tax planning, insurance, charitable giving and qualified tuition (529) plans.

The firm customizes each account to client needs and generally manages assets on a discretionary basis, employing fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis to allocate among individual equities and fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and options. Client portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis with biannual formal reviews, and the firm may debit advisory fees directly from custodian accounts.

Benin Management manages approximately $520,975,970 in discretionary assets with a relatively small advisory team, resulting in a notably high AUM per advisor compared with many peers. It also uses derivatives (options), margin/borrowing and short-sale strategies within managed accounts—practices that are less common among similar firms—and operates a long‑standing sub‑advisory platform dating back to its founding in 1973.

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.
