About

VIE Invest provides discretionary portfolio management, selection and monitoring of third‑party advisers, stand‑alone financial planning, and investment consulting (including private‑equity introductions and ongoing project due diligence) to high‑net‑worth individuals, families, and various entities. The firm’s ADV reports it manages over $50 million in client assets and generally requires discretionary authority to implement investment recommendations.

The firm constructs customized portfolios using model portfolios and allocations to third‑party managers, with ongoing performance monitoring and the ability to hire, fire, or reallocate managers as market conditions or client circumstances change. VIE Invest also employs active techniques such as margin and options (including a covered‑call approach) and discloses that it may charge performance‑based fees or IRR‑linked profit sharing for certain consulting and private investment engagements for qualified clients.

Distinctive disclosures in the brochure include the use of performance‑based and profit‑sharing compensation for private investments, the managing principal’s licensed insurance‑agent activities and affiliations with MassMutual and Futurity First (which may generate commission income), and solicitor/referral arrangements (for example with BNY Mellon). The firm also notes custodial relationships with Trade PMR and Interactive Brokers and a reported portion of non‑U.S. clients, features that are less common among peers of similar size.

Find your advisor

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.
