About

Piedmont Capital Management, LLC provides discretionary investment management and related financial consulting primarily to high‑net‑worth individuals and their families, and also to certain corporations and charitable organizations, generally targeting clients with at least $10 million of investable assets. PCM implements strategies through separately managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs and third‑party money managers, and serves as manager to the Piedmont Partners Fund, a private pooled investment vehicle.

The firm emphasizes capital protection and long‑term cumulative returns through active, multi‑asset portfolio construction and tactical adjustments to asset allocation, and will develop customized investment policy statements at a client’s option that can incorporate social or environmental restrictions. PCM selects and monitors outside managers, retains discretionary authority to invest and rebalance client accounts, and may employ hedging techniques or manager sleeves as part of its risk management process.

PCM is affiliated with Piedmont Trust Company, a state‑chartered trust company and family office with a multi‑decade history, and shares personnel and administrative support with that trust affiliate; in some cases PTC delegates trust clients to PCM. The firm also sponsors and manages the Piedmont Partners Fund, provides related administrative services, discloses the resulting conflicts of interest (including family investments and dual employment of personnel), and makes private placement and audited Fund information available to qualified investors.

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.
