About
Catton Capital Partners, LLC provides discretionary asset management, comprehensive portfolio management and retirement plan consulting for a mix of individuals, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. The firm also recommends and monitors third‑party money managers and uses sub‑advisors to implement client portfolios.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and may employ a broad set of strategies and instruments — from traditional asset allocation across equities, fixed income, ETFs and mutual funds to alternative investments, options, short sales and margin — tailored to clients’ objectives. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis, and the firm conducts initial due diligence and at least annual reviews of recommended third‑party managers.
Catton Capital Partners is a small, closely held advisory practice (two advisors, roughly $39.6 million in discretionary AUM and 16 clients as of April 7, 2026), which results in relatively concentrated, high‑touch client relationships and a $500,000 typical account minimum (waivable). The firm’s principals hold advanced industry credentials and the brochure discloses a recent regulatory change — a transition from SEC to California state registration — as well as operational practices such as custodying client assets at a major custodian and authorizing direct fee deduction.

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
