About

Bearing Financial Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, family partnerships, trusts, and small‑business retirement plans, with a stated account minimum of $100,000 (which may be waived). The firm offers both ongoing asset management and two levels of financial planning (the Skiff Plan and the Sloop Plan) and notes $89,408,649 in discretionary assets under management as of December 31, 2025.

The firm manages across asset classes using stocks, bonds, ETFs, and open‑ and closed‑end funds and employs both fundamental and technical analysis in its security selection. It also actively operates more than six “factor‑driven” equity models (including Real Estate Stock, Low Volatility, Dividend & Momentum, Mega‑Cap Growth, Sector‑Rotation, and an Aggressive Multi‑Cap model) and incorporates tax‑aware and active‑vs‑passive considerations into client portfolios.

Noteworthy features in the brochure include an affiliation and shared ownership with Capital Ideas, LLC (which serves as a subadvisor) and common ownership through Alpha Capital Dallas, LLC, a relationship the firm discloses as an alignment and potential conflict of interest. The brochure also discloses that a principal is a licensed insurance agent who may receive commissions on insurance sales and describes regular investment commentary reports and firm asset disclosures — practices (including advertising performance results) that are less common among similarly supported advisers.

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.

Find your advisor

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
