About
Zen Trading provides discretionary portfolio management and investment advice to high‑net-worth individuals through separately managed accounts, advising on ETFs, exchange‑listed and foreign securities, options and other instruments. The firm reported approximately $2.05 million in discretionary assets under management across five clients.
The firm combines charting/technical analysis with fundamental research and uses both long‑ and short‑term strategies, including short sales, options and margin, while generally avoiding market timing and tailoring portfolios to each client’s objectives and restrictions. Accounts are actively monitored with periodic reviews and clients may impose reasonable investment limitations.
Noteworthy elements in the brochure include an affiliation with another registered investment adviser: a managing member is also an owner and licensed investment adviser representative with Serene Growth Partners, and that relationship is disclosed along with equity compensation there. Zen Trading also offers performance‑based fee arrangements subject to high‑water‑mark and tiered thresholds available only to qualified clients, and the brochure describes controls intended to address the conflicts those features can create.

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
