About
Barrington Asset Management is a team-based registered investment adviser with five advisors managing roughly $55.2 million for about 43 clients, primarily high‑net‑worth individuals as well as pension plans and other pooled or institutional clients. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management through model-driven programs and custom mandates, with investments that can include individual equities, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, stock options and occasional private placements.
The firm combines bottom‑up fundamental research with top‑down macroeconomic and tactical asset‑allocation analysis, using model portfolios (Managed Equity, Asset Allocation, Enterprise, Capital Preservation Plus) overseen by an investment committee and designated portfolio managers. Holdings and tactics can span long‑term positions, shorter‑term trades, options, margin and short sales, and accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis with most client relationships managed on a discretionary basis.
Noteworthy distinctions include an affiliation with a broker‑dealer, Barrington Research Associates, and the firm’s reliance on proprietary and third‑party research from that affiliate—relationships the brochure identifies as creating potential conflicts of interest. Barrington also serves as adviser and sponsor to an affiliated private limited partnership, Barrington Opportunity Fund, LP, which pursues a long/short small‑ and micro‑cap strategy, and the ADV discloses a recent SEC order accepting a settlement related to historical trade allocation practices.

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
