About
James I. Black & Company provides wealth management, portfolio management, and financial planning to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plan participants, guardianships, trusts, and estates. The firm reports approximately $144 million in assets under advisement across about 130 clients and delivers portfolio management alongside broad-based financial planning services.
The firm’s advisory process begins with an interview to identify goals and risk tolerance, followed by individualized asset-allocation recommendations that may be implemented via customized portfolios, model portfolios, or predetermined strategies; holdings typically include equities, ETFs, mutual funds, corporate and municipal securities, and U.S. government securities. Although JIBC offers both discretionary and non-discretionary services in its forms, its brochure reports that client assets under management are primarily non-discretionary and accounts are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis.
JIBC’s brochure discloses several uncommon features for a firm of its size: it is a registered broker-dealer and SEC/FINRA-registered adviser, is CFTC/NFA-registered as an introducing broker, and is affiliated with a CPO and CTA (ITB Capital Management and ITB Capital Advisors) that sponsor privately offered commodity pools (ITB Premium Fund I and II). The firm also holds or maintains certain client private securities and clears non-public securities (and may directly debit fees), uses third-party custodians such as Interactive Brokers, StoneX, and Marex for most accounts, and notes these regulatory registrations and related-party activities while reporting no material disciplinary events in Item 9 of its brochure.

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.
