About

High Note Wealth provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and small businesses. The firm’s brochure shows a small advisory team managing roughly $683 million in discretionary assets for about 275 clients and offering ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and coordination with third‑party managers.

The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary mandates and documents client goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances to guide asset allocation and monitoring, including oversight of held‑away retirement and education accounts. Its disclosure lists a wide range of analytical methods and strategies—fundamental, quantitative, technical and modern portfolio theory—and notes use of options, margin and other leverage, leveraged/inverse ETFs, and alternative investments when appropriate.

High Note’s materials also highlight a few uncommon practices for a firm of this size: the firm advertises third‑party ratings and discloses the use of borrowing and margin strategies in client accounts, including in separately managed or held‑away arrangements. The brochure further describes use of a third‑party order management platform (Pontera) for held‑away assets, potential solicitor relationships when recommending third‑party managers, and custodial arrangements that include fee deductions and standing letters of authorization.

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.
