About

Hamrick Investment Counsel manages individualized investment portfolios for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, foundations, and nonprofit organizations, and also offers limited, project‑based financial consulting (for example, retirement planning scenarios and specific transaction advice). Investment supervisory clients grant the firm discretionary authority; the firm typically requires a $500,000 minimum for ongoing portfolio management but may waive that requirement in certain circumstances.

The firm describes a conservative, longer‑term investment approach that emphasizes diversified, balanced portfolios with active asset‑allocation adjustments generally within ±10% of target. It uses low‑cost index funds alongside selectively chosen no‑load active funds and a Model Stock Portfolio selected through bottom‑up research, and provides quarterly reports prepared to GIPS standards while reconciling data with its recommended custodian.

Noteworthy for a small, fee‑only advisor, Hamrick combines a three‑advisor team with nearly $300 million in assets under management and maintains formal proxy‑voting policies; it does not charge performance‑based fees or participate in wrap programs. The firm recommends Charles Schwab for custody and discloses receipt of technology and research services from Schwab as a potential conflict of interest, and its brochure reports no disciplinary history.

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.
