About
Clear Trail Advisors serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, retirement plans, and businesses, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and selection and monitoring of third‑party money managers. The firm manages approximately $803 million in client assets and also offers fee‑based insurance products that it can manage as part of its wealth management services, with insurance activities conducted through affiliated licensed agents and Clear Trail Insurance Holdings.
The firm implements individualized, continuously monitored portfolios using a broad mix of instruments—individual equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, options, alternative investments, and direct indexing—and can allocate assets to separately managed accounts, model portfolios, or TAMP/UMA solutions accessed via Dynasty. For held‑away accounts such as 401(k)s and other employer plans it uses the Pontera order management system, and the brochure discloses that the firm may employ derivatives and borrowing (margin) in separately managed accounts when deemed appropriate.
Compared with many peers, Clear Trail discloses several uncommon business practices: it uses client testimonials and advertises third‑party ratings in its marketing; it maintains operational and distribution relationships through Dynasty (including participation in Dynasty programs and referral arrangements); and it has an affiliated insurance holding company that receives compensation for insurance products. Those platform integrations, the use of Pontera for held‑away assets, and the explicit disclosure about derivatives and borrowing in SMAs are notable features relative to other team‑style advisory firms.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
