About

Black Card Circle is a registered investment adviser team that provides portfolio management and written financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts and charitable organizations. The firm prepares customized financial plans addressing retirement, estate, education, insurance, cash‑flow and related planning topics.

The firm generally implements portfolios using Modern Portfolio Theory principles—diversifying across cash equivalents, fixed income, domestic and international equities, with systematic rebalancing—and typically uses ETFs and mutual funds while occasionally selecting individual securities. Unlike most peer teams, Black Card Circle manages the majority of assets on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client approval before executing trades, and it does not aggregate client trades, which can affect execution timing and rebalancing.

Notable distinctions include the firm’s large non‑discretionary asset base and its explicit no‑aggregation practice, both of which are uncommon among similar firms and may influence operational cadence and transaction outcomes. Several team members maintain outside business activities (including insurance licenses, real‑estate interests, and creative/production roles); the firm discloses these relationships and maintains a Code of Ethics and conflict‑disclosure procedures to address potential conflicts.

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
