About

Coastwise Capital Group is an SEC‑registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and other institutional clients. The firm manages separate accounts across a broad range of asset types and, per its Form ADV, oversees roughly $212 million in client assets while serving both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth households.

Investment decisions are guided by client objectives and risk profiles and may employ fundamental and technical analysis across equities, fixed income, options, futures, private placements and, when appropriate, digital assets and derivative strategies. The firm offers standalone planning and consulting engagements and discloses that certain qualified accounts may be subject to performance‑based fee arrangements (with specified qualifying thresholds), while it also distributes periodic newsletters and may conduct speaking engagements or workshops.

Noteworthy aspects that differentiate Coastwise from many peers include the explicit availability of performance‑based fees for qualified clients, the stated inclusion of digital assets among investable instruments, and the firm’s practice of publishing periodicals and offering educational events. The brochure also discloses formal referral/solicitor arrangements and tiered referral payments; the firm cites its Code of Ethics and supervisory reviews as measures to address the attendant conflicts of interest.

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.
