About
Fairlead Financial Advisors is a small, fee-only registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning to individuals, trusts, charitable organizations, foundations, and closely held entities. The firm manages roughly $99 million on a discretionary basis and serves a limited number of clients.
Its investment process begins with strategic asset allocation models that inform tactical adjustments and personalized portfolio allocation targets, and research and manager selection use proprietary screens and public data. Portfolios are implemented with mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks, and bonds, are periodically rebalanced, and clients receive customized quarterly performance reports alongside a quarterly market newsletter.
Notably, the firm includes charitable organizations and foundations among its clients and publishes a regular market newsletter and bespoke reporting—practices that are uncommon among similar independent advisers. The adviser operates on a fee-only basis, uses a single custodian platform for execution and access to research, and emphasizes bringing institutional-style resources to privately managed client portfolios.

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.
