About
Paragon Asset Management provides discretionary asset management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), businesses, corporations and charities, managing approximately $115.9 million across about 60 client accounts as of December 31, 2025. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees and generally requires a $250,000 account minimum, though it retains discretion to lower or waive that minimum.
Investment programs are tailored to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, with portfolio construction informed by fundamental and technical analysis and a focus on open‑end mutual funds and ETFs. The brochure discloses the firm may use higher‑risk trading techniques and instruments (including options, margin, short sales and derivatives) and aggregates ETF trades across client and personal accounts.
Distinctive operational features include a long track record (founded in 1992) and a single‑advisor structure, a requirement that clients use a specified broker‑dealer, no participation in wrap fee programs, and an absence of performance‑based fees. The firm does not vote proxies on clients’ behalf (clients receive proxy materials directly), and its principal maintains an external consulting practice occupying roughly 10% of their time, a relationship disclosed and described as mitigated by firm procedures.

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.
