A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Changing Parameters, LLC

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Changing Parameters, LLC or one who fits your needs even better.

Changing Parameters, LLC provides discretionary tactical allocation and portfolio management services to separately managed accounts for individuals (including high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth clients), pensions, trusts, charitable organizations and corporations, and also serves as investment adviser to an SEC-registered open-end investment company (the Changing Parameters Fund). The firm offers model-based SMA management under separate discretionary agreements and provides investment management to the Fund under its advisory contract. The firm’s investment approach relies on price-trend, technical, quantitative and momentum analysis to generate trigger points for allocating among equity, fixed income and money market mutual funds, and it typically adjusts exposures (including moving to shorter-duration sectors or cash equivalents) when its proprietary models indicate changing trends. Changing Parameters operates with discretionary trading authority, may seek to implement its SMA strategies by investing client assets in the Fund, and uses third‑party software tools — including artificial intelligence solutions for market research and operational efficiency. What is uncommon about this firm relative to peers is that it both manages separately managed accounts and directly advises an SEC-registered investment company, and it provides portfolio management services to investment companies — a combination that is rare among similar-sized advisory firms. The Fund the firm manages is actively traded and non‑diversified, employing long and short positions, derivatives and futures (and potentially leverage and higher turnover), and the firm discloses the operational and conflict considerations that can arise when SMAs are allocated into a related Fund.

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
