About

Brown Financial Advisory provides discretionary portfolio management and related advisory services to individual clients, including high-net-worth households, under a percentage-of-assets fee model. The firm reports roughly $468 million in regulatory assets under management across about 275 client relationships.

The firm operates as a six-advisor team with formal documentation of its methods of analysis, investment strategies, brokerage practices, and account review processes, as reflected in its Form ADV brochure. The brochure also describes the firm's code of ethics and custody practices, indicating established compliance and oversight of trading and client asset handling.

Compared with many team firms, Brown Financial Advisory manages a relatively concentrated client base—about $1.7 million in AUM per client on average—suggesting a focus on larger, more individualized relationships. The ADV also includes a section addressing performance-based fees and side-by-side management, a topic not universally covered by advisory teams serving individual clients.

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.
