About
Cade Group, Inc. provides investment advisory and portfolio management, modular financial planning, and pension/retirement consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), employee benefit plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations. The firm offers both discretionary management through sponsored wrap programs and standalone consulting services and accepts government clients, including state and municipal entities.
The firm tailors strategies to each client’s objectives and risk profile and may combine fundamental, technical and modern portfolio theory approaches, employing both long‑ and short‑term tactics as suitability dictates. It commonly implements discretionary subadvisory relationships through a broker‑dealer wrap platform while also delivering written financial plans and pension benchmarking or ongoing plan reviews for plan fiduciaries.
Noteworthy aspects compared with peers include an explicit focus on pension consulting and stated service to government entities, which is uncommon for firms of this size, and formal affiliations with an insurance agency and a broker‑dealer that create dual compensation channels disclosed in the brochure. The firm operates with a small adviser team (two advisors) and reports roughly $93 million in discretionary assets under management, and its disclosure highlights how referral arrangements, administrative‑only assets and insurance relationships are managed to address potential conflicts.

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
