About
Planning Trail Investments is an independent, single‑advisor registered investment adviser that provides discretionary asset management and standalone financial planning and consulting to individuals, trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. Services include tailored portfolios made up of individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and other public and private securities, together with hourly financial planning engagements.
The firm uses a combination of fundamental, quantitative, qualitative and sector analysis and implements both dynamic and tactical asset‑allocation approaches, with ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing. Cash balances are typically held in conservative short‑term instruments, and clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions or grant the firm discretionary authority over trading decisions.
Distinctive for a solo independent firm, Planning Trail provides portfolio management to institutional clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans in addition to retail investors, a capability that is uncommon among peers of this size. With roughly $1.95 million in discretionary assets across nine client relationships, the firm pairs institutional analytical methods with one‑on‑one financial planning despite its small scale.

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.
