About
Buoyant Financial provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and corporate/business entities. The firm reports managing roughly $27.9 million across about 37 client relationships and focuses on clients with substantial investable assets.
The adviser creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, operates with discretionary trading authority, and uses fundamental analysis together with modern portfolio theory to construct portfolios. Investment implementation emphasizes long‑term strategies and includes options trading (including uncovered option positions), with the brochure explicitly disclosing the material risks of those strategies.
Distinctive operational features include a recommendation that clients use a specific custodian (Altruist Financial) and the firm’s approach of managing assets internally rather than selecting third‑party managers; the brochure also discloses the potential receipt of research or services from brokers (soft‑dollar benefits). Relative to many small independent advisers, the combination of options trading strategies and a client base concentrated in larger accounts is a noteworthy characteristic.

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.
