About
C.M. Bidwell & Associates is a discretionary investment adviser that serves both individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households) and institutional accounts, offering institutional portfolio management, private wealth management and limited hourly advisory services for smaller portfolios. The firm manages taxable and tax‑deferred accounts, corporate and government pension accounts, and charitable or religious group accounts, and will incorporate client‑imposed written investment restrictions when requested.
Its equity strategies are actively managed on a long‑only basis across large‑ and small‑cap universes using a proprietary quantitative model that emphasizes changes in analyst earnings estimates and is updated weekly; fixed‑income allocations focus on higher‑quality, investment‑grade securities and funds are used for diversification. CMBA provides regular reporting — equity holdings are reviewed weekly while fund and fixed‑income strategies are reviewed quarterly — and it discloses the production and presentation of performance materials in its compliance and client reporting processes.
Notable, and less common among peer teams, the brochure describes willingness to negotiate alternative fee arrangements beyond asset‑based billing, including some performance‑based accounts, and outlines side‑by‑side management and trade rotation procedures intended to mitigate conflicts among fee types. The firm also discloses family‑rooted ownership and a succession plan that contemplates transferring ownership interests to employees in certain circumstances, and it documents the use of soft‑dollar research services (including named vendors) to support its investment process.

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
