About
Circle Advisers Inc. serves primarily high‑net‑worth individuals as well as institutional clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, offering non‑discretionary investment advisory services and, when requested, stand‑alone financial planning and consulting. The firm also provides ERISA 404(c) participant‑directed retirement plan consulting and acts as an ERISA 3(21) advisor for certain defined benefit plans.
The firm primarily manages accounts on a non‑discretionary basis—disclosing $868,162,745 in non‑discretionary assets under management as of September 30, 2025—and allocates client assets among mutual funds, ETFs, income‑producing equities, fixed income, and cash. Circle’s process emphasizes fundamental analysis with long‑ and short‑term strategies and may employ options strategies (including covered call writing) for hedging or income, and it offers comprehensive reporting that can incorporate assets held outside its trading authority.
Distinctive features relative to peers include operating multiple offices (eight locations) while remaining a team‑sized adviser, and the disclosed use of compensated introducers/promoters (endorsements) in client acquisition. The brochure also notes that certain representatives are licensed insurance agents who may recommend commission‑based insurance products, that the firm does not accept discretionary authority, and that it does not vote client proxies, which together affect client control and conflicts of interest.

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
