About

Calm River Capital provides discretionary portfolio management, consulting, and subadvisory services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients; the firm requires that clients meet the accredited investor standard and prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each account. It focuses its recommendations on equities and ETFs—primarily equity holdings implemented with a covered‑call option strategy—and delivers ongoing portfolio monitoring and monthly custodian reporting.

The firm tailors portfolios to each client’s goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon and employs a range of analytic methods (including fundamental, quantitative, technical, charting, and modern portfolio theory) alongside long‑ and short‑term trading and options strategies. Accounts are generally managed on a discretionary basis, with stated policies to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities across clients and to document risk tolerances and reviews.

What is distinctive about the firm is the breadth of principals’ outside business activities disclosed in the brochure: certain principals are licensed real estate brokers, maintain law‑related practices, act as sponsors or syndicators of limited partnerships, and hold ownership interests in multiple real estate entities with disclosed time commitments and potential compensation. Those affiliations and the firm’s willingness to act as a subadviser are explicitly identified as potential conflicts of interest (with clients not required to participate in affiliated offerings), making its combination of legal, brokerage, real estate syndication, and advisory activities atypical for firms of this size.

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.

Find your advisor

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
