About
CDS James Investments provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management to individuals, high-net-worth families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities, managing roughly $48.6 million across about 75 client relationships. Services emphasize portfolio management using mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and options and are provided on a fee basis tied to assets under management.
The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis to build tailored asset allocations, may employ options strategies and margin in certain circumstances, and manages similarly structured “model” portfolios for clients. Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis with formal reviews at least quarterly, and clients receive custodian statements plus written or electronic reports that can include inventories and account performance; the adviser generally maintains discretionary trading authority.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, the brochure highlights that CDS James serves institutional-type clients (corporations and business entities) in addition to individuals and has negotiated access to institutional trading and custody services through Trade-PMR and First Clearing. The ADV also discloses the firm’s assets under management and the provision of account performance information in client reports, details that may be less common among peers of similar size and structure.

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
