About

Orchid Advisory is a small SEC-registered multi-family office that primarily serves high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, pooled vehicles, small businesses, and charitable clients. With two advisors managing roughly $296 million across about 15 client relationships, the firm provides asset management alongside family office services such as consolidated reporting, tax and legacy coordination, cash flow planning, and bill‑pay/administrative support.

Orchid develops individualized investment policy statements and implements strategies using sub‑advisors, mutual funds, ETFs, separately managed accounts (SMAs), and alternatives, and it offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary engagements. Notably, a majority of the firm’s assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis and Orchid permits the use of borrowing within SMAs, with fees and reporting adjusted when margin is utilized.

Compared with peers, Orchid’s combination of an extremely small client roster with relatively large AUM per client, integrated bill‑pay and custody‑related services (including the ability to act in limited custody roles such as trustee), and formal oversight of third‑party managers stands out. The firm also performs surprise annual examinations when custody-like services are provided and emphasizes active monitoring of sub‑advisors as part of its operational practices.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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.
