About
Ardent Investors, LLC is an independent, single-advisor registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individual and high-net-worth clients. As of March 2026 the firm managed approximately $19.2 million across about 26 client relationships and does not offer wrapped fee programs.
The firm employs an active investment approach using a blend of fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analyses to build diversified portfolios across mutual funds, ETFs/ETNs, individual equities, fixed income, MLPs and REITs. Portfolios may include derivative-based strategies — including covered calls, cash‑covered puts and purchased options for hedging or investment purposes — and the firm permits hedges such as inverse ETFs when deemed appropriate.
What is distinctive for this adviser relative to most independent peers is the explicit use of derivatives in separately managed accounts, a practice that is relatively uncommon among firms of this type. The sole advisor holds a CFA charter and a law degree, operates with a small client base, and requires client custody with a large institutional custodian, which influences the firm’s trade execution, reporting, and operational arrangements.

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.
