About

Abens Financial Services manages approximately $120 million across roughly 93 client relationships, principally providing discretionary asset management and financial and business planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm primarily charges percentage‑of‑AUM fees for asset management and also offers hourly or fixed‑fee arrangements for financial and business planning and business consulting.

All managed assets are handled on a discretionary basis and investment decisions are informed by fundamental, technical and sentiment analysis; documented client questionnaires and interviews are used to establish objectives and any reasonable investment restrictions. Strategies described in the brochure include long‑ and short‑term purchases, margin transactions, option writing and futures, and portfolios commonly include equities, mutual funds and ETFs, with private equity and limited partnership investments used for qualifying clients.

Compared with many peers, the firm explicitly discloses the use of borrowing/margin and derivatives (options and futures) within separately managed accounts, and it also notes potential allocations to private equity and Crypto ETFs, which are less common among similarly sized supported firms. Abens directs custody to discount custodians (including Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers), uses order aggregation and reports constructive custody due to automatic fee deductions and standing letters of authorization.

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
