About

Client First Capital, LLC provides investment advisory and planning services to individuals, families, trusts and estates, including high-net-worth clients, through asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, and standalone financial planning or consulting as described in its Form ADV. Portfolios may include individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, mutual funds and private securities, and the firm may utilize third-party sub-advisors to implement client strategies.

The firm applies a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative, qualitative and sector/cyclical analysis and uses strategies such as asset allocation, fixed income management, options, and both long- and short-term purchases, with an emphasis on duration constraints for interest-rate exposure. It offers distinct strategies named in the brochure — a CFC One Portfolio that dynamically adjusts to market regimes and a Defined Outcome Portfolio that focuses on highly liquid, shorter-term securities to prioritize risk control.

Noteworthy aspects include a small advisory team overseeing roughly $270 million for about 73 clients, and a broader planning menu that covers items such as cost segregation, corporate structure and tax-related planning beyond typical retail financial plans. The firm also discloses the use of client testimonials in its advertising materials, a practice that the ADV indicates is uncommon among similarly supported advisors.

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.
