About
Basis Point Investments provides investment management and investment consulting primarily to retirement plans and other institutional clients, and also offers financial planning and investment services to individuals and high-net-worth clients. Services are delivered on a non‑discretionary basis and BPI implements portfolios using stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, with model allocations that range from conservative income to growth-oriented stock models.
The firm’s investment process relies on fundamental analysis and independent research from third‑party providers, and it constructs diversified portfolios by combining securities that meet its selection criteria while managing bond exposures to target maturities. For retirement-plan clients BPI develops customized investment policy statements, prepares periodic monitoring reports, conducts periodic meetings, and may provide participant education and group meetings.
Noteworthy features disclosed in the brochure include ERISA‑focused pension services — the adviser describes roles as both a Section 3(38) investment manager and a Section 3(21) investment consultant for plans — and a consulting/financial planning billing approach tied to an hourly estimate (the firm notes a quoted multiple based on $400 per hour and flat‑fee ranges of $1,500–$7,500). The brochure also highlights limited business hours and that the principal devotes substantial time to a separate MRO business, and it discloses that BPI does not take custody, does not accept performance‑based fees, and does not vote client proxies.

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
