About
Brae Head, Inc. is a fee-only registered investment adviser that manages fully discretionary equity, balanced and fixed-income portfolios for individuals, families, trusts, businesses and retirement plans, and it also accepts charitable and other institutional clients. The firm provides basic financial planning tools (client balance sheets and cash-flow templates) and recommends custodial broker-dealers for execution and custody.
The firm's investment approach is a disciplined, systematic process aimed at building and protecting purchasing power by mitigating systematic risk through allocation between risky market assets (using the S&P 500 as a proxy) and short-term risk-free instruments, then addressing non-systematic risk with a diversified equity sleeve. Equity selection is driven by quantitative screens for profitability, earnings sustainability and dividend growth with a target holding set (about 27 stocks across multiple noncorrelated sectors), while the fixed-income component is actively managed with taxable maturities generally capped at ten years and municipal exceptions for longer-dated issues.
Compared with many single-advisor independents, the brochure highlights that the firm serves ERISA/IRC-governed retirement plans and provides pension consulting and fiduciary disclosures specific to plan clients, in addition to managing institutional and charitable accounts. The firm requires full discretionary authority, directs clients to a single custodial broker-dealer, conducts daily security monitoring and weekly account reviews, and generally requires a $500,000 minimum to establish a relationship.

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.
