About
Cannell & Spears LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to a broad client base that includes individuals, trusts, tax‑exempt organizations, registered investment companies, and unregistered pooled investment vehicles. The firm also offers sub‑advisory services to an affiliated ETF and facilitates allocations to unaffiliated third‑party separately managed account managers.
The firm follows a long‑term, value‑oriented investment approach driven by proprietary fundamental research and concentrated security selection, prioritizing businesses with defensible market positions and catalysts for value realization. Cannell & Spears tailors asset allocation and security choices to each client’s objectives and, when suitable, may allocate to illiquid securities, private placements, or third‑party managers to achieve those goals.
Noteworthy for a multi‑team adviser, Cannell & Spears operates as a private fund adviser through a wholly owned subsidiary that manages unregistered pooled vehicles and may receive performance‑based allocations (promotes) for those investments. The firm also discloses predecessor performance tied to its legacy firms, serves as sub‑adviser to The BeeHive ETF (including a revenue‑sharing arrangement with the ETF’s adviser), and discloses how ETF internal expenses can affect client costs.

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
