About
Bankers Investment Counseling provides continuous investment counseling and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm reports managing about $21.5 million across roughly 50 client accounts and implements portfolios aligned with each client’s stated objectives.
The firm uses a combination of fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis to develop individualized investment policies, determine asset allocation and select mutual funds or ETFs, and it monitors accounts continuously with formal reviews at least quarterly. Clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions, and the firm generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis while arranging custody and periodic fee debits through institutional custodians.
Notable features disclosed in the brochure include the principal’s outside roles—membership on a nonprofit investment committee (4–6 hours per quarter) and work as an accredited marine surveyor—which the firm identifies as potential conflicts and addresses through its code of ethics and trade practices. The firm also notes a long operating history with a recent change in ownership in 2023 and discloses that the principal had a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2015 that was subsequently discharged.

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
