About
Privatus is a state‑registered independent advisory firm that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and, in some cases, pension or profit‑sharing plans and institutional clients. The firm also offers general consulting services such as tax planning, business planning, and trust administration, and may refer clients to third‑party money managers or CPAs for specialized services.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes a tactical allocation strategy intended to reduce risk and seek improved performance, with discretionary management informed by technical and cyclical analysis. Privatus uses a broad range of instruments — including mutual funds, equities, fixed income, options and other derivatives, and interests in real estate or energy partnerships — and may employ cash positions, short‑term trading, or margin to implement portfolio decisions.
Distinctive features for a single‑advisor independent firm include the availability of performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients — a 20% fee on gains calculated monthly with a high‑water mark — and its acceptance of institutional and pension/profit‑sharing plan clients. The firm’s representatives are also licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance sales, and Privatus may receive portions of fees when referring clients to third‑party managers or tax preparers; these compensation sources are disclosed as potential conflicts of interest.

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.
