About
Buoyant Financial provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and corporate/business entities. The firm reports managing roughly $27.9 million across about 37 client relationships and focuses on clients with substantial investable assets.
The adviser creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, operates with discretionary trading authority, and uses fundamental analysis together with modern portfolio theory to construct portfolios. Investment implementation emphasizes long‑term strategies and includes options trading (including uncovered option positions), with the brochure explicitly disclosing the material risks of those strategies.
Distinctive operational features include a recommendation that clients use a specific custodian (Altruist Financial) and the firm’s approach of managing assets internally rather than selecting third‑party managers; the brochure also discloses the potential receipt of research or services from brokers (soft‑dollar benefits). Relative to many small independent advisers, the combination of options trading strategies and a client base concentrated in larger accounts is a noteworthy characteristic.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
