About

Aldebaran Financial Inc. provides discretionary portfolio management and consulting to a mix of individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and other entities, managing roughly $222.8 million across about 350 client accounts. Beyond investment oversight, the firm also prepares simple tax returns for some clients and offers limited-scope estate-planning legal document services through an in-house attorney.

The firm’s investment approach centers on strategic asset allocation informed by fundamental and technical research and a range of securities, including mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks, municipal bonds, and options. Portfolios are constructed to reflect each client’s objectives, income needs, and tax situation, and Aldebaran typically implements those strategies on a discretionary basis.

Noteworthy distinctions include the presence of an in-house attorney and chief compliance officer who provides drafting and execution of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced directives — a service the brochure indicates the firm began offering in 2018. The firm’s small advisory team manages a relatively large aggregate asset base and client roster for its size, and it employs options and other derivative instruments in client accounts when deemed appropriate.

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

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.
