About

D.L. Carlson Investment Group is an employee‑owned, fee‑only advisory firm that provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm manages roughly $735 million across about 360 client relationships and generally implements advice through custodian‑held accounts under limited trading authority.

Investment decisions are driven primarily by fundamental analysis and implemented across three managed portfolio styles—Equity, Balanced, and Fixed Income—using a range of strategies from long‑term holdings to short‑term trades, margin transactions, and option writing when appropriate. The firm documents goals in investment policy statements, accommodates client restrictions, and issues quarterly account and performance reports while encouraging clients to compare those reports with custodian statements.

Compared with many peers, the firm publicly provides and reports performance information for client portfolios, rather than relying solely on custodian statements, and offers a stand‑alone financial planning engagement structure that can be included in asset‑based fees for larger households. The firm also operates without commission arrangements or third‑party product sales and is majority‑owned by an internal owner, reflecting an internal ownership structure and governance different from many independent teams.

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
