About

Sarasota Capital Strategies provides portfolio management and financial planning for individuals, trusts, corporations, foundations and estates. Services described in the brochure include active management of absolute‑return portfolios using exchange‑traded funds, no‑load mutual funds and individual equities, as well as stand‑alone written financial plans.

The firm manages discretionary accounts with internally developed models that combine fundamental and technical analysis to pursue downside protection while participating in rising markets; examples of listed strategies include diversified fixed income, dividend growth and income, and asset allocation. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced periodically, and the adviser may increase cash, employ hedges or trade more frequently in volatile markets; client‑specific models can be created on request.

A noteworthy detail in the brochure is that associated persons may also be licensed insurance agents and, on occasion, sell insurance products as an ancillary activity (the firm states this represents less than 1% of business operating time and that such associates may receive compensation). The brochure also discloses the firm’s state registration, custodial preferences, a formal code of ethics, and that it does not accept performance‑based fee arrangements.

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.
