About

Evolution Global Advisors, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts/estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported $2,017,805 in assets under management across five client accounts, generally requires a $250,000 opening investment, and does not accept non‑high‑net‑worth retail individual clients.

The firm implements model portfolios rather than bespoke accounts, typically with a foreign‑equity emphasis that can include emerging‑market equities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), ETFs, REITs and fixed‑income, and generally holds 0–5% in cash. Investment decisions are made on a discretionary basis using fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis, with a stated focus on capital appreciation and a tilt toward earnings growth and price momentum.

Evolution Global Advisors negotiates performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients (defined as at least $1,000,000 invested with the firm or $2.1 million in net worth), charging a 20% performance fee on excess returns relative to its benchmark (MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index) while reducing the asset‑based fee to 0.40% for those accounts. The firm also publishes hypothetical and actual performance results and claims GIPS® compliance with composite disclosures, which are relatively uncommon features among similarly supported advisory firms and have implications for reporting and conflict management.

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.
