About

56 Capital Partners, Ltd. provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and pension consulting to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), trusts, estates, retirement plans, nonprofit organizations and business entities, managing roughly $113 million for about 260 clients. As disclosed in its Form ADV, the firm delivers portfolio management services for individuals and charges asset‑based advisory fees common to supported firms.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation and uses both fundamental and technical analysis to build diversified portfolios across equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds and alternative investments. For clients that opt into more complex strategies, 56 CP may employ options, derivatives, hedging, metals and other advanced instruments and may utilize margin or portfolio‑margin arrangements when appropriate.

Noteworthy among peers, 56 CP is affiliated with an exempt commodity trading advisor (56 Capital Partners F&C LTD) that may purchase commodities and futures on behalf of clients, a relationship the firm discloses in its ADV and that is relatively uncommon for supported firms. The Brochure also discloses that the firm advises accredited investors on pooled vehicles focused on unimproved U.S. real estate and oil and gas drilling and that certain principals are licensed insurance agents who may recommend insurance products.

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.
