About
Baker Asset Management provides fee-only investment portfolio management to individuals, trusts, endowments and non-profit/charitable organizations. The firm offers both discretionary and non-discretionary asset management and limits its services to portfolio management rather than selling commissioned financial products.
The firm documents client goals in investment policy statements and performs quarterly reviews, with more frequent reviews when market conditions warrant. Portfolios follow either diversified mutual fund/ETF allocations or a buy-and-hold individual-security approach; in individual-security accounts the manager may employ options (puts and covered calls) and occasional leverage to augment cash flow and manage downside risk.
Compared with peers, Baker Asset Management’s client mix includes charitable organizations and endowments — a relatively uncommon client type for independent advisors of this size — and it manages about $5 million across roughly a dozen clients, which supports more individualized oversight. The firm does not accept commissions or soft‑dollar arrangements, maintains an information security and privacy program, and generally leaves proxy voting to clients unless assistance is requested.

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
