About
Wesley Owen Bales Investment Advisory Services Inc. provides fee‑only investment advisory and portfolio management primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering tailored discretionary and non‑discretionary services to meet client objectives. The firm is a solo practice established in 2000 and states it does not impose a firmwide account minimum.
The adviser uses a blend of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and implements both long‑term and short‑term strategies, including margin transactions and option writing. For aggressive accounts the firm typically pursues concentrated equity positions, while more conservative accounts use taxable and tax‑free bonds to address after‑tax return objectives.
Noteworthy features for a small, single‑adviser firm include the explicit use of margin and uncovered option strategies and a stated emphasis on concentration rather than trading, practices that can increase portfolio risk relative to more diversified peers. The firm manages roughly $31.6 million across about 38 clients, participates in the Schwab Institutional program for custody and services, and does not vote client proxies (clients receive proxy materials directly).

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.
