About
Century Trace Investment Advisors LLC is a registered investment adviser that provides personalized investment advisory and portfolio management services to individuals and small business entities, and indicates it may also advise on related matters such as college funding, retirement, tax, estate planning, 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones. The firm’s materials state it builds investment plans for clients and offers both custom portfolios and predefined model strategies.
The firm describes a long-term, buy-and-hold investment approach grounded in modern portfolio theory, with diversification across asset classes including U.S. and emerging market equities, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and other pooled offerings; it also references use of fundamental and technical analysis and periodic rebalancing. Services are provided on a non‑discretionary basis with client approval of trades, and the firm relies on qualified custodians rather than taking custody of client assets.
Noteworthy for an investment manager of its category, the firm offers independent reviews and standalone hourly consulting as a distinct engagement option, and may credit or waive those review fees if a client moves to ongoing management—an arrangement that is relatively uncommon among peers. The firm is small and recently established with no reported assets under management at filing and participates in institutional custody programs (TD Ameritrade/Schwab) that provide certain operational and research benefits.

Forms ADV
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
