Grimes & Company

Grimes & Company Wealth Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals (including both non‑HNW and high net worth clients), as well as business entities, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and state or municipal government entities. The firm offers retirement plan services and sub‑advisory arrangements and manages roughly $5.6 billion in regulatory assets under management across a multi‑team advisor platform.

The firm builds customized investment strategies using proprietary research and portfolio management systems, allocating across no‑load and load‑waived mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, and, where suitable, independent managers, options, interval funds and other alternative structures. Grimes also provides financial planning (including access to the Vanilla estate‑planning platform), may recommend private investment funds and crypto exposure via ETFs on a non‑discretionary basis, and treats cash as an asset class in portfolio construction.

Notable or uncommon features disclosed in the brochure include its role as an affiliated private fund adviser to the High Income Opportunity Fund and its sub‑advisory engagements, including a sub‑advisory role to the Little Harbor Advisors Risk‑Managed Income ETF (RMIF), which the firm identifies as presenting potential conflicts of interest. The firm also works directly with state and municipal government clients and ERISA retirement plans and discloses participation in referral programs (Fidelity WAS, Schwab Advisor Network) and broker arrangements (including Trade‑PMR) that can influence custody and referral economics.
