About

Callahan Capital Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement‑plan consulting, and legacy‑position services for individuals, high‑net‑worth families, estates, trusts, retirement plans, corporations, and charitable foundations. The brochure reports approximately $217.5 million in regulatory assets under management and describes the use of the MoneyGuide Pro platform to consolidate reporting for both managed and excluded assets.

The firm relies primarily on strategic asset allocation and long‑term holding strategies, supplemented by fundamental, mutual fund/ETF, and technical analysis tailored to each client’s risk tolerance and objectives. The brochure also discloses that Callahan may recommend the use of margin or other borrowing for non‑investment needs and that advisory fees are determined on the value of assets gross of any margin.

Noteworthy details in the brochure include disclosure of performance materials — including hypothetical scenarios and reported performance results — alongside an explicit statement that the firm does not accept performance‑based (gain‑sharing) fees. The document further emphasizes operational features that may be atypical for a firm of its size, such as managing legacy positions, offering ERISA 3(38) investment manager services to plan sponsors, and detailed proxy‑voting and trade‑aggregation practices with institutional custodial relationships.

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.
