About

Capital Management Services provides ongoing portfolio management to individuals, trusts, businesses and employee benefit plans and also serves as a money manager for other investment advisers. The firm additionally offers complimentary or fixed‑fee financial planning to investment management clients as needed.

CMS employs a tactical asset allocation process that primarily uses mutual funds and ETFs, with active rebalancing to pursue identified market trends and occasional use of short positions. The firm may engage third‑party sub‑advisers and uses a turnkey asset management platform (Tactive Wealth Advisors) for back‑office administration, trading and billing.

Noteworthy features include its role managing accounts for other advisers and its coordination of billing and trade review with third‑party advisers and custodians, arrangements that are less common among similar teams. The brochure discloses a prior regulatory matter — a lapsed registration that resulted in a Missouri Securities Division fine in 2011 that the firm reports was corrected — and the firm notes participation in custodian‑sponsored educational conferences and routine account reviews and reporting.

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
