About

Bertrand Investment Strategies, L.L.C. provides advisory services to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts and estates but does not manage client assets directly. The firm refers clients to SEC‑ or state‑registered third‑party managers (TPMs) and acts as a liaison, helping with paperwork and ongoing service for TPM‑managed accounts.

BIS gathers client information on objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon, recommends a TPM and investment style based on suitability, and monitors the TPM’s performance and reporting. The firm does not take trading discretion or custody of client funds, and clients retain voting and custody authority for their accounts.

What distinguishes BIS from many peers is its referral‑centric business model and disclosed revenue arrangements: BIS receives ongoing referral fees and participates in an incentive program with Gradient Investments, LLC, and discloses those arrangements to clients. The firm also maintains affiliated business activities — the managing member is a licensed insurance agent (approximately 25% of her time) with separate compensation through Bertrand Retirement Solutions — and recently updated its brochure to reflect changes to the TPM fee schedule, all while not directly charging or managing AUM for client accounts.

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
