About
Essex Capital Management is a fee-only, registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers ongoing investment management, hourly or flat-fee financial planning and consultation, and may conduct group educational workshops for employee or community groups.
The firm constructs client-specific Investment Policy Statements and emphasizes asset allocation, diversified exposure through mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and non‑correlating assets, and periodic rebalancing guided by both fundamental and technical analysis. Client engagements begin with a financial wellness review and risk/tolerance questionnaires, and accounts receive regular monitoring with monthly/quarterly reporting and at least an annual portfolio review.
Compared with many peers, the brochure notes the firm conducts educational workshops and may impose a fee (often paid by a sponsoring employer or group), and it participates in an institutional custodial platform and Model Marketplace (Altruist) that provides technology and model access as well as support services tied to platform asset thresholds—an arrangement the firm discloses as creating a potential conflict of interest. The firm also documents specific privacy and cybersecurity practices, including a Written Information Security Program and the limited use of AI tools (Hazel AI) under stated “zero data retention” protocols.

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
