About
Golden Guidance LLC is a single-advisor registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to a small client roster (27 clients), including individual and business clients. The firm manages roughly $19.5 million in client assets and offers both project-based financial plans and ongoing planning engagements in addition to investment management.
Investment approaches are tailored to client objectives and rely on model portfolios and both long- and short-term strategies; the firm states a primary use of ETFs but also implements strategies that can include leveraged ETFs, option writing, and margin transactions. Clients may receive continuous support under ongoing planning engagements, and the firm may substitute a fixed annual planning fee for its asset-based advisory fee in some arrangements.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, Golden Guidance combines a very small client base and AUM with explicit use of higher-risk instruments (leveraged ETFs and options) and the option to shift to fixed planning arrangements, which can affect cost alignment. The firm’s ADV supplement discloses a 2016 employment discharge of the firm’s principal at a prior employer related to an allegation of back-dating a client-signed form, and the firm participates in Charles Schwab’s institutional platform and associated service benefits.

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.
