About
Waypoint West primarily provides portfolio management and financial planning to pooled investment vehicles and high‑net‑worth individuals, and serves as manager and general partner for a private pooled fund. The firm prepares investment policy statements, accepts discretionary authority for trading, and may recommend or allocate to third‑party managers as part of its advisory services.
Its investment process combines cyclical, fundamental, quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory and uses a wide range of strategies, including long‑ and short‑term trading as well as options, margin and short sales, to implement client mandates. Waypoint West tailors portfolios to clients’ objectives and may co‑invest or direct capital to outside managers, including an AI‑driven manager disclosed in the brochure.
Noteworthy for an investment manager of its size, the firm requires clients to custody assets with specified custodians rather than leaving custodian choice open and discloses that it does not aggregate block trades for multiple accounts. The brochure also discloses the firm’s role as general partner in its private fund, its use of performance‑based fees for qualifying investors, and potential soft‑dollar benefits from custodians, with policies described to address related conflicts.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
