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.

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
