About
Cardinal Mark provides discretionary investment management and financial planning services to individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals, and also offers hourly investment consulting and goal-based planning on a project basis. Services include portfolio construction, ongoing account management, and written financial planning deliverables.
The firm’s investment process blends quantitative optimization and computer-based risk/return analysis with technical analysis and third‑party research, and it invests across individual equities, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, and fixed income (including municipal securities). Accounts are managed with discretionary authority, subject to written client-imposed restrictions, and clients are contacted at least annually to reassess objectives and risk tolerance.
Distinctive aspects in the brochure include a relatively compact client roster supported by approximately $12.1 million in discretionary assets, the use of an institutional custody and trading platform that provides practice‑management and research benefits to the adviser, and a stated policy of not participating in wrap programs or soft‑dollar arrangements. The firm also forwards proxy materials to clients for their voting rather than voting proxies on clients’ behalf.

Forms ADV
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
