About
Carrington provides investment advisory and retirement planning services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, with a particular practice focus on U.S. foreign service personnel such as employees of USAID, the State Department, and Foreign Commercial Services. Services include customized investment management, thrift savings plan oversight, and remote financial planning delivered through virtual consultations.
The firm’s investment approach is primarily long‑term and portfolio‑driven, typically using diversified mutual funds and ETFs with occasional individual securities, and applying fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis to asset allocation and rebalancing. Carrington also recommends and oversees unaffiliated independent managers when appropriate, and its business model centers on active client involvement because most accounts are managed on a non‑discretionary basis—clients retain approval of transactions.
What is distinctive about the firm is the predominance of non‑discretionary assets (approximately $17.8M of $19.6M in reported AUM), an uncommon structure for independent RIAs that places operational emphasis on client approvals and ongoing communication. The firm’s stated experience with foreign‑service benefits and thrift savings plans, combined with use of third‑party managers and selective fund families (including DFA), may affect implementation details and portability for clients who later change advisors.

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
