About

Cedar Ridge Investment Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and other entities, reporting roughly $54 million in assets under management across about 100 client accounts. Financial planning work described in the brochure includes investment, retirement, education, and charitable planning alongside ongoing portfolio monitoring.

The firm’s investment process combines quantitative, fundamental, technical, cyclical, and economic analysis to identify investments that align with its models, and it states that model output is tempered by professional judgment. CRIM offers an Asset Allocation strategy focused on longer‑term holdings with at least quarterly rebalancing and a CRIM Alpha Opportunities strategy that blends long‑ and short‑term positions with more dynamic, monthly (or more frequent) rebalancing.

The brochure emphasizes that the firm is led by a single principal who serves as founder, chief compliance officer, and the sole investment professional, a governance structure that is uncommon for supported firms. Although high‑net‑worth individuals are listed as eligible clients, the firm’s reported AUM, client count, and a stated $100,000 minimum for its Alpha Opportunities strategy indicate an operating scale and client mix oriented toward individual investors rather than a predominantly ultra‑high‑net‑worth clientele; the brochure also notes a fee‑only model and use of an independent custodian (Charles Schwab).

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.

Find your advisor

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
