About

CGN Advisors provides advisory services to a broad client base that includes individuals and families (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, businesses, foundations, and charitable organizations. The firm’s service menu spans comprehensive financial planning, investment consultation and portfolio monitoring, ongoing investment supervisory services, real‑time planning sessions, educational workshops, select tax return preparation, and pension consulting.

The firm describes a long‑term, globally diversified investment approach that blends asset allocation with a mix of Modern Portfolio Theory, core‑plus‑satellite, and active management where appropriate; it emphasizes fiduciary duty, periodic due diligence, and regular portfolio reviews (typically quarterly) and may recommend or engage institutional third‑party managers. CGN generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis for supervisory services, uses Charles Schwab & Co. as its recommended custodian for managed accounts, and provides written investment policy summaries to guide portfolio construction.

Several features noted in the brochure distinguish CGN from many peers: some associates operate separate legal or accounting practices and may offer legal or tax services under distinct agreements, and the firm both recommends and engages registered investment adviser firms as sub‑advisors or third‑party managers for client portfolios. The brochure also discloses custody‑related arrangements (fee deductions through a qualified custodian and use of standing letters of authorization) and describes the firm’s compliance processes and SEC‑aligned safeguards for those arrangements.

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
