About
Bastion Fiduciary, LLC provides discretionary investment management and financial planning services to a mix of clients that the brochure identifies as individuals, high-net-worth individuals, charitable organizations, and corporations, and it also operates as a sub-adviser to an investment company. The firm offers tailored financial planning engagements (hourly, project-based, or ongoing) alongside discretionary portfolio management based on client suitability data.
The firm outlines an investment approach grounded in modern portfolio theory and fundamental analysis, deploying common stocks, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds to build diversified portfolios and adjusting allocations for tax and suitability considerations. Adviser-client relationships are tailored at onboarding, clients may impose investment restrictions, and accounts are reviewed at least annually with written reports provided to clients.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include Bastion’s role as a sub-adviser and portfolio manager to exchange-traded funds and its stated financial interest in the fund(s) it manages, a potential conflict the firm acknowledges. The firm is a relatively new, small team managing only discretionary assets (about $125 million as of 12/31/2025) and discloses that it does not vote client proxies, which may be material for institutional or fund clients.

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
