About

Carapace provides discretionary portfolio management and sub‑advisory services primarily to high‑net‑worth and accredited investors, institutional clients, and other investment advisers. The firm also serves as manager and sponsor of multi‑series private funds (Carapace Funds LLC) offered to institutional and sophisticated high‑net‑worth investors.

Its investment approach centers on customized market‑linked hedging and investment strategies that combine a collateral portfolio (often diversified large‑cap equities or U.S. Treasuries) with exchange‑listed options, including FLEX options, typically with 12–15 month maturities. Carapace uses a proprietary, quantitative methodology to structure option combinations and collateral allocations to seek defined downside protection while providing capped upside participation or above‑average income, managing accounts on a discretionary basis.

Notable distinctions include the firm’s role as both a private fund sponsor/manager and a sub‑advisor to third‑party money managers, and the explicit use of derivatives within separately managed accounts alongside pooled vehicles. The brochure also discloses an affiliation with Oliver Luxxe Assets LLC (which provides equity selection for certain strategies and funds), a recent transition to SEC registration, and operational custody arrangements related to fee debiting and fund management—features that differentiate its governance and service model from many peers.

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
