About
Carolopolis Fiduciary Counsel provides investment advice and financial planning to individual investors, retirement plan sponsors and plan participants, and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary asset allocation services. The firm also delivers ERISA 3(21)/3(38) fiduciary support for plan sponsors and implements allocations within the constraints of 529 and annuity plan menus when necessary.
The firm’s investment approach is model‑driven: it calculates a Target Return Benchmark (TRB) and uses a quantitative process across 14 asset classes (with limits on single‑class concentration) to construct diversified portfolios, typically implemented with low‑cost index ETFs when discretion is available. Portfolios are reviewed at least quarterly and clients receive periodic custodial statements and quarterly performance reports to monitor progress toward stated goals.
A distinguishing feature is that the firm offers performance‑based fee arrangements to qualified investors under applicable exemptions, a billing practice that is uncommon among independent peers and which the firm manages alongside other accounts under written supervisory procedures. The ADV also discloses that the firm’s principal engages in outside legal/expert‑witness consulting and coaches youth swimming, activities noted as ancillary to the advisory practice.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
