About

Cohen Capital provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and businesses, delivering discretionary portfolio management and broader wealth management engagements. The firm also offers standalone financial planning and operates a wrap fee program that combines advisory services with execution and custody arrangements.

Portfolios are customized primarily with low-cost mutual funds and ETFs, while the firm may also use individual stocks, bonds, options, structured notes, third‑party managers, and alternative investments when appropriate. Cohen Capital generally pursues long-term strategies informed by fundamental and technical analysis but retains discretion to rebalance or make shorter-term trades to meet client objectives and cash needs.

Despite being formed in late 2025 and commencing operations in January 2026, the firm reports over $1.1 billion in assets under management and maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity that provided software access and launch support. The brochure discloses potential conflicts of interest—such as receipt of economic benefits from its custodian and certain advisory persons’ ability to earn insurance commissions—and describes a Code of Ethics and personal‑trading policies intended to mitigate those conflicts.

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
