A complete list of active advisors currently associated with ADES Investment Counsel, Inc.

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at ADES Investment Counsel, Inc. or one who fits your needs even better.

Ades Investment Counsel primarily serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, along with retirement‑plan participants, trusts, pension/profit‑sharing plans and business entities, offering ongoing portfolio management, financial planning and investment consulting. The firm also provides investment advice specifically for self‑directed employer‑sponsored retirement plans and short‑term consulting engagements for clients who do not qualify for or elect not to use its discretionary management service. The firm follows a long‑term, passive‑oriented investment approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, using multi‑factor and mean‑variance analysis to construct diversified asset allocations and rebalancing portfolios as part of ongoing management. Portfolios are typically implemented with index‑type mutual funds and ETFs, with an emphasis on Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds and other low‑cost providers; because DFA funds are not broadly available to retail investors, AIC commonly recommends a specific national custodian to access those products and institutional services. What distinguishes Ades from many peers is its accounting firm background and professional mix: the advisory team includes CPAs who also hold CFA charters and has roots in a long‑standing public accounting practice, a combination that is uncommon among supported firms. The firm manages a compact client roster with $82,860,118 in discretionary assets under management (as of December 31, 2025) and routinely relies on DFA research and institutional custodial relationships that shape its implementation and operational practices.

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
