About
Method Finance, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm manages roughly $54.6 million for a small client base of about 56 relationships and offers both ongoing investment management and separately available comprehensive financial plans.
The firm’s investment process is time‑horizon driven and emphasizes diversified, index‑based allocations implemented mainly with ETFs and individual equities, documented in an Investment Policy Statement for each client. Method also employs tactical and value‑oriented tilts, uses short‑term trades for rebalancing and tax management, and may incorporate less common instruments such as SPAC-related fixed‑income exposures and precious‑metal ETFs when viewed as strategically appropriate.
Noteworthy differences from many peers include the firm’s solo‑practitioner structure combined with the principal’s institutional research background and CFA charter, and a practice that automatically includes financial planning for managed accounts while also offering higher‑hour, fixed‑fee planning engagements. The firm requires clients to custody managed assets on its recommended platform (Altruist/Apex), does not receive soft‑dollar benefits, and maintains written policies around fair allocation of limited investment opportunities.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
