About

Castle Group Investment Counsel provides discretionary portfolio construction, implementation, and ongoing monitoring primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, and also lists institutions and retirement plans among potential clients; it offers related services such as financial planning and a newsletter and states a $25,000 account minimum. The brochure notes the firm serves as an investment manager for wrap participant accounts or model portfolios in the Wedbush Advisor Program, and, as of March 19, 2026, reported no assets under management.

The firm customizes portfolios after client interviews and a risk‑profile process, and uses a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, charting, and a cyclical approach to security selection. Investment strategies described in the brochure include long‑ and short‑term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions, and option writing, and accounts are monitored on a continuous basis with formal reviews at account opening and quarterly thereafter.

Distinctive features in the brochure include an affiliated broker‑dealer (an introducing broker‑dealer cleared through Wedbush) and an affiliated licensed insurance agency; the firm’s advisory personnel are also registered representatives of the affiliated broker‑dealer and are appointed with multiple insurance companies and may implement commissionable transactions in their separate capacities (CGIC states it will not earn advisory fees on those commissionable implementations). The firm also notes that it uses Wedbush as custodian and receives no soft‑dollar compensation, and that Wedbush shares advisory fees for services the custodian provides.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
