About
Crystal Investment Management is a small, independent registered investment adviser that provides financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and institutions. The firm manages roughly $5.46 million on a discretionary basis across a very small number of client relationships and typically documents client objectives through an Investment Policy Statement.
The firm combines fundamental and quantitative methods and operates two primary frameworks: a global macro/tactical asset allocation approach that can use long/short and leveraged index funds, and a recently introduced low‑beta U.S. equity long/short statistical‑arbitrage strategy. Crystal generally exercises discretionary authority, offers performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients, and has added custodial relationships (including Fidelity and Interactive Brokers) to support execution and margin needs for its quantitative strategies.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, the firm is notable for running sophisticated quantitative and leveraged long/short strategies while also operating an ancillary business that sells weekly proprietary investment signals. It offers educational workshops for clients and their guests—an offering that is uncommon among peers—and discloses a modest shareholder servicing fee from the ProFunds platform and a written cybersecurity incident response program.

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