About

Course Management Investment Advisors provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning for individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and pension/profit‑sharing plans, documenting each client’s objectives and risk tolerance in an Investment Policy Statement. The brochure describes services that include investment strategy, asset allocation, asset selection, and regular portfolio monitoring across mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income, real estate funds, insurance products, and private placements.

The firm’s investment process combines multiple methods of analysis — charting, fundamental, technical, cyclical and economic reviews — and employs both long‑ and short‑term strategies as well as strategic asset allocation. CMIA generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, seeks fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities across clients, and may aggregate (block) trades to pursue execution efficiencies.

What is distinctive in the brochure is the explicit discussion of complex and option‑based products: buffer ETFs, structured products, and other derivative‑based strategies (including the use of options to create caps and buffers) and the accompanying risk disclosures, indicating the firm’s willingness to use derivatives in managed portfolios. The firm also directs readers to external sources (its website and the SEC adviserinfo listing) and discloses that it advertises third‑party ratings, a practice that is less common among peer firms.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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.

By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
