About
Bruce Colin and Company provides financial planning and investment management to a small roster of individual clients and families, including business owners, corporate executives, professionals, and retirees, and manages trusts, IRAs, and taxable portfolios. The firm operates as a fee‑only fiduciary and integrates ongoing planning with portfolio management for many clients.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes broad diversification, passive exposure to global asset classes, low costs, tax efficiency, and use of mutual funds and ETFs, with each client’s strategy documented in an Investment Policy Statement. Investment management is delivered on a non‑discretionary basis—Bruce Colin obtains client approval before placing trades, does not automatically rebalance accounts, and conducts reviews in conversations with clients, providing quarterly reports through a secure vault.
Noteworthy features relative to peers include an unusually large asset base for a one‑advisor practice (approximately $216 million) and that nearly all assets are managed non‑discretionarily, a combination that is uncommon among similar firms. The firm requires client accounts to be held at Charles Schwab and uses Schwab’s institutional services and marketplace for referrals to third‑party managers, while disclosing that it receives no referral compensation.

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.
