About

Chesapeake Investment Management provides fee-based asset management and consulting to individuals, trusts, foundations, not-for-profit associations, corporations and retirement plans, managing roughly $200–210 million for just under 400 client accounts. The firm generally serves high-net-worth households and institutional clients and typically requires a minimum account size (customarily $250,000, though waivers are available).

The firm uses individualized, discretionary portfolio management guided by a client profile and a customized investment policy statement, with portfolios concentrated in individual equity and fixed‑income securities and a tendency toward low turnover. Client relationships begin with in‑depth interviews to assess age, financial position, goals and risk tolerance, and accounts are reviewed on a regular quarterly cycle with continuous monitoring of holdings.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that several of its representatives maintain separate financial‑services businesses — including an insurance agency and a special‑needs planning practice — which operate independently and offer services under separate agreements rather than as integrated in‑house financial planning. Chesapeake does not provide custody of client funds, does not accept performance‑based fees, and does not offer firm‑level financial planning as part of its advisory services, reflecting a focus on investment management for higher‑tier clients rather than broad financial planning for mass‑market individuals.

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
