About
Downie Financial Group is a small, state‑registered independent investment adviser managing roughly $35 million in discretionary assets for about 133 individual and business clients. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management and a range of financial planning services, including comprehensive plans delivered via upfront fixed fees, hourly engagements, or ongoing retainers, and it provides periodic educational seminars on a pro‑bono basis.
The firm’s investment approach centers on passive portfolio construction using index mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds to achieve targeted asset‑class exposures, low internal costs, and tax efficiency, with asset allocation guided by each client’s investment policy and risk tolerance. Complementing its passive framework, the adviser also employs fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analysis and routinely manages accounts on a discretionary basis.
Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include acting as both sponsor and portfolio manager for a wrap fee program and offering pro‑bono seminars and speaking engagements, features that are uncommon for similar solo independent advisers. The firm’s materials reference third‑party ratings, it provides written reporting to clients with at least $100,000 under management, and it discloses a recommended custodian relationship (and related soft‑dollar benefits) in its disclosures.

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.
