About

A Sling & A Stone, Incorporated advises individuals (including both high-net-worth and non‑HNW clients), trusts, corporations, and limited partnerships, delivering discretionary portfolio management alongside non‑discretionary ’40 Act fund administration and a cash‑management program. The firm manages accounts across several program types and provides ancillary advisory services and account administration for clients who direct investment choices.

Investment implementation centers on a proprietary Market Anomaly Program (MAP) that generates trading signals and can be executed using equities, exchange‑traded products, commodity futures, margin and short positions; the firm also offers passive indexed models and a hedged index variant with a derivatives overlay. MAP can be run in separately managed accounts or inside the firm‑sponsored private limited partnership, and trades for discretionary strategies are executed through its chosen custodian with block‑trading procedures to allocate fills.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include sponsorship of a private fund (A Sling and a Stone I, L.P.) with the adviser acting as general partner, the firm’s documented use of derivatives and futures in separately managed accounts, and the availability of performance‑based fee arrangements for eligible investors. The advisers are also licensed to sell insurance products and may receive commissions for those sales, which the firm discloses and addresses alongside its other affiliated‑activity conflicts.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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
