About
Clarus Group provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, estates, corporations, and retirement plan participants. The firm manages roughly $158 million for about 182 clients and offers services that include customized portfolios of ETFs, individual equities and bonds, financial planning engagements, and held-away/participant account management.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental and technical analysis to construct primarily long‑term portfolios while permitting shorter‑term trades for rebalancing, tax management, or market-driven opportunities. Clarus Group may use options and other derivative instruments as part of its portfolio strategies and implements held‑away account management through third‑party technology to apply tax‑efficient asset location and rebalancing.
Compared with many peers, Clarus Group discloses several uncommon features: it is affiliated with an accounting firm that provides tax and accounting services and may be recommended to clients; its advisory personnel are also licensed insurance professionals who may receive separate commissions; and the firm’s disclosures indicate use of derivatives in client accounts and the inclusion of client testimonials in its marketing materials. These arrangements and tool choices are noted in the firm’s ADV and are identified as potential sources of conflicts that the firm discloses and manages.

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
