About
Ataraxis Financial provides financial planning, financial consulting, and portfolio management to individuals, families, small-business retirement plans, trusts and estates, servicing roughly 106 client relationships with about $50.7 million in assets under management and two advisory professionals. Like many peers, the firm works with both higher-net-worth and non‑high-net-worth individual clients and uses AUM-based fees for portfolio management alongside hourly or fixed fees for planning and consulting.
The firm operates exclusively on a non‑discretionary basis, meaning advisers make recommendations but must obtain client approval before implementing trades or portfolio changes. Investment advice emphasizes investment‑grade bonds (rated BBB+ or better) and exchange‑traded funds and is informed by a mix of charting/technical, fundamental, cyclical and economic analyses to set strategic asset allocation and select short‑ and long‑term holdings.
What is distinctive about Ataraxis is the combination of a primarily non‑discretionary model at a multi‑million dollar scale, which is uncommon among similar supported firms and leaves clients with day‑to‑day trading authority. The firm also does not take custody of client assets, does not vote proxies on clients’ behalf, and maintains written policies (including a Code of Ethics and order aggregation procedures) to address trade allocation and potential 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.
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
