Independent, factor investing / smart beta financial advisors in Redmond, WA
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you want to use factor investing or smart beta strategies, you likely aim to capture specific investment factors like value or momentum to improve returns or reduce risk. Without an advisor experienced in these approaches, you might end up with a portfolio that doesn't align with your factor goals or overlooks hidden costs.
- Factor selection clarity. Ask how they choose which factors to emphasize and why those fit your financial goals.
- Risk management approach. Confirm how they monitor and adjust factor exposures to avoid unintended risks.
- Fee transparency. Factor-based strategies can involve complex products; ensure they explain all associated costs clearly.
- Independent advice. Since these advisors operate independently, check how they tailor factor strategies without firm product constraints.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
