About
Carter Ridge Strategic Advisors is a state-registered, single-advisor firm managing about $5.5 million for nine clients and offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management as well as investment consulting to individuals, small businesses, and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm provides both ongoing advisory relationships and one‑off consulting engagements, and it manages some client accounts through third‑party platforms, including participation in a Charles Schwab wrap‑fee program.
The firm’s investment process blends fundamental, technical, and economic analysis to implement long‑ and short‑term strategies and strategic asset allocation, and it may recommend alternative investments for qualified clients. CRSA’s stated toolbox includes margin and derivative instruments (options, futures) used within separately managed accounts and both discretionary and non‑discretionary account structures.
The brochure discloses regulatory and financial events involving the firm’s principal, including a 2017 FINRA action related to discretionary trades in family accounts (resulting in a suspension and fine) and a bankruptcy petition that was discharged in 2019. The firm’s limited scale, the use of derivatives in managed accounts, and its involvement in a third‑party wrap program are features that distinguish it from many other solo independent advisors.

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.
