About

AWM Capital, LLC advises high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and private funds, offering fee‑based investment management alongside comprehensive financial planning. The firm’s financial planning services, as described in the brochure, encompass tax planning, estate planning, insurance analysis, and business consulting for select small and medium-sized businesses.

AWM employs an open‑architecture platform and a liability‑driven investing (LDI) framework to build customized portfolios that commonly use mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, third‑party separate account managers (SAMs), and private placements where appropriate. The firm conducts due diligence on SAMs and private placements, may delegate discretionary authority to SAMs or private fund managers, and incorporates private fund valuations on the reporting schedule of underlying investments.

Noteworthy distinctions in the brochure include AWM’s AWM Ventures affiliate, which sponsors and manages closed‑ended private funds targeting private equity, venture capital, and real estate and may receive carried interest and management fees disclosed in each fund’s offering documents. The firm also discloses that a firm principal is an independent licensed insurance agent who may receive commissions, and it maintains a relatively high separately managed account minimum (with discretionary waiver authority).

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.
