About
Braintrust Investment Advisors, LLC provides investment advice to U.S. individual investors through a digital platform operated by an affiliate, offering access via an automated portfolio builder or through advisor-led phone or video consultations. Services emphasize strategic asset allocation and sector-based allocations across equity, balanced, and fixed income approaches and are provided on a non‑discretionary basis with client approval required before executing trades.
The firm’s recommendations are generated using proprietary algorithms and advisor analysis that incorporate fundamental, cyclical, and quantitative inputs; BIA discloses that it also uses AI and large language models as part of its research process with human oversight and controls. Custody and trade execution are handled through Interactive Brokers, and BIA does not take possession of client assets.
A principal of the firm is a registered representative of a FINRA member broker‑dealer and the firm may participate in the sale of private securities offerings to qualified investors, with such activity governed by separate agreements, written disclosures, accredited investor verification, documented due diligence, and annual compliance reviews. The combination of an employee‑owned advisor, an integrated technology/app platform, algorithmic portfolio construction, and the explicit broker‑dealer/private placement arrangements is described in the brochure and is addressed through the firm’s policies, Code of Ethics, and disclosure practices.

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
