About

Capital Trust Advisors (Goldberg Advisers, LLC) serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as institutional entities such as trusts, estates, pension and charitable organizations. The firm provides discretionary wealth management and financial planning — including asset allocation, retirement, tax and net‑worth/cash‑flow planning — and oversees about $356.8 million in discretionary assets, primarily invested in mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds.

CTA gathers client data through a detailed questionnaire and may prepare a written investment or asset‑allocation policy tailored to each client, then manages portfolios on a discretionary basis across equity, fixed‑income and balanced strategies. The firm employs a mix of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and recommends using ByAllAccounts aggregation to incorporate held‑away accounts into its advice; financial planning is provided as part of the management engagement.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include that CTA manages only discretionary accounts, does not accept authority to vote proxies on clients’ behalf, and does not participate in wrap‑fee or performance‑based fee programs. The firm discloses a custodial relationship with Charles Schwab and receipt of institutional services from the custodian, has been registered since 2000, and operates with a small multi‑advisor team that may negotiate account minima or fee arrangements in certain cases.

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.
