About
Bradford Capital Management is an independent registered investment adviser that serves individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities. The firm offers portfolio management (both discretionary and non‑discretionary), modular financial planning, and pension consulting services.
The firm's investment approach emphasizes ETF‑based portfolios built using Modern Portfolio Theory with a passive asset‑allocation and regular rebalancing discipline. It provides written or oral financial plans on an hourly basis and tailors portfolio recommendations to clients' stated risk tolerance and objectives.
The firm is notable among solo independent advisers for its pension consulting work and for serving charitable organizations — pension services are generally provided on a non‑discretionary basis and can include plan‑level fund selection, performance monitoring, participant education, and individual participant meetings. The principal holds CFP credentials and is separately licensed to sell insurance products, which can create the potential for commission‑based recommendations in addition to advisory services.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
