About

Clearstead serves both affluent private clients (families, individuals and related entities) and a range of institutional clients, offering investment management, financial planning, tax planning and compliance, family office administration, and institutional consulting/OCIO services. The firm reports approximately $33.9 billion in assets under management and advises over 4,300 client relationships through a 59-advisor team.

Clearstead’s investment process applies institutional disciplines—portfolio analytics, manager research, and strategic asset allocation—across private and institutional accounts, with discretionary and non-discretionary engagements. It implements a mix of mutual funds, ETFs, separately managed accounts, alternative investments and a proprietary Direct Indexing strategy that uses optimization software to match index risk factors while enabling tax-loss harvesting, and it performs ongoing rebalancing informed by its Investment Review Committee.

Compared with many peers, Clearstead operates at a relatively high scale per advisor (over $200 million in AUM per advisor), and it combines that scale with specialty capabilities such as the ClearAccess platform for pooled access to private managers, a minority equity stake in GLASfunds (which it discloses and whose use by clients is optional), and in‑house trust subsidiaries and family office services. The firm also highlights operational features that may be atypical for some peers—held‑away account access via a third‑party portal (Pontera), limited use of AI tools for meeting summaries and research support, and an active role in forming and managing private pooled funds.

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
