About
The Cavanaugh Group provides investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, qualified plans, non‑profit organizations and profit‑sharing plans, delivering portfolio management on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases. The firm serves a relatively small client base (44 clients) and has stated it is no longer accepting new clients.
The firm follows a conservative, balanced asset‑allocation approach across equities, fixed income, mutual funds and cash, favoring long‑term discipline over market timing. Equity selection emphasizes well‑capitalized, dividend‑paying companies with consistent dividend growth and management quality, while fixed‑income allocations prioritize A‑rated corporates, U.S. government securities and staggered maturities based on internal economic models.
Distinctive features include a high level of assets managed per advisor—roughly $485 million in total AUM across a two‑person advisory team—which is uncommon among similarly supported firms and reflects concentrated, high‑value client relationships. The firm also disclosed a regulatory enforcement action: an SEC order and civil penalty for failing to file Form CRS by the required date, a disclosure event that is rare among peers.

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.
