About

Catalina Capital Group LLC provides investment advisory and consulting services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, and business entities. The firm offers ongoing portfolio management, pension consulting, and financial consulting, and notes there is no account minimum for its services.

The firm uses a mix of analysis techniques—charting, cyclical, fundamental, modern portfolio theory, quantitative and technical analysis—and implements both long- and short-term strategies. CatalinaCap seeks discretionary authority for many accounts, documents client objectives in an Investment Objective Sheet/Investment Policy Statement, and employs margin and options strategies as well as allocations to separately managed accounts, private equity, REITs, hedge funds and other alternative vehicles.

Noteworthy features include managing over $600 million of client assets with a four-advisor team, resulting in relatively high assets-per-advisor compared with many peers, and the firm’s active disclosure of material changes (for example, updating assets under management and removing a former dba). CatalinaCap requires clients to custody assets at specified custodians (Charles Schwab and Fidelity), may recommend third‑party advisers for portions of client portfolios (with fee-sharing disclosed), participates in custodian-sponsored educational events and supports client reporting and occasional educational offerings, and generally limits proxy voting to its in‑house direct index strategy.

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.
