About

Cedar Spring Advisors serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as charitable organizations, offering discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management alongside financial planning and consulting services. As disclosed in the brochure, the firm reported about $169 million in assets under management across roughly 284 client relationships as of December 31, 2025.

The firm tailors investment programs to client goals and risk tolerance using fundamental analysis and a mix of long‑term, short‑term and options strategies, with periodic reviews that include rebalancing and tax‑loss harvesting opportunities. Cedar Spring also implements third‑party managed solutions — including SEI’s managed account and mutual fund model programs and an American Funds platform — and may appoint sub‑advisors or model managers to execute agreed strategies.

Distinctive operational features include a firm policy requiring custody with Charles Schwab, SEI or American Funds rather than permitting directed brokerage, and a small advisory team that operates from three offices. The firm’s principals also engage in insurance sales and tax‑preparation activities (disclosed as potential conflicts of interest and addressed by firm procedures), and the firm does not vote client proxies, directing clients to vote their own proxies.

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
