About

Chicago Capital Management Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, trusts, and retirement plans. The firm manages accounts directly and through third‑party managers and also accepts certain client-owned “held‑away” assets for ongoing advisory services and reporting.

CCMA follows a bottoms‑up, fundamentals‑driven investment process and offers model strategies spanning aggressive growth, sector rotation, dividend/growth, income, asset allocation, and fixed‑income ladders, tailoring allocations to each client’s risk profile. The firm uses derivatives (including options) for hedging and income strategies and may permit borrowing or margin in some separately managed accounts; it also implements hedges and stops and provides access to outside model managers and platform solutions.

Noteworthy aspects compared with peers include formal affiliations with an affiliated broker‑dealer and with other registered advisory entities under common ownership, resulting in shared personnel registrations, cross‑referrals, and related‑party service arrangements disclosed in its ADV. CCMA’s documented practices for held‑away assets, its fee billing based on valuations of those assets, and its reliance on standing letters of authorization (which the firm says leads to being deemed to have custody in some cases) are additional operational features it highlights.

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
