About
Filippini Investment Advisory is a small, two‑advisor registered investment adviser that works with individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, foundations, estates and business plans. The firm offers financial planning, investment consultation and portfolio management services and reports about $20.6 million in assets under management across roughly 44 client relationships.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and a diversified, long‑term asset allocation approach, using a mix of ETFs, index and actively managed mutual funds, equities, fixed income, REITs and other vehicles as appropriate. Portfolios are managed directly by the firm (no third‑party asset managers or TAMPs) and services are provided on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client pre‑approval for transactions and regular monitoring and periodic reviews.
Noteworthy distinctions include that the firm’s assets are managed non‑discretionarily (clients must approve trades) and that the principals maintain multiple outside industry roles: they operate an affiliated entity that presents monthly seminars, hold insurance licenses and real‑estate licensure through a related broker, and a principal is registered with a broker‑dealer and may recommend private placements and Delaware Statutory Trusts for commission. These outside activities and the seminar/education program are disclosed in the brochure and can create potential conflicts of interest that the firm says it manages through disclosure and internal policies.

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.
