About

Compass Rose Strategic Partners provides financial planning, investment management (both discretionary and non‑discretionary), and advice regarding managed portfolio programs to individuals, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and corporations. The firm also offers educational seminars and workshops and typically delivers investment management through its wrap fee arrangements.

Portfolios are built around client‑specific goals, timelines and risk tolerance with asset allocation across mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and third‑party managed accounts; the firm monitors accounts at least annually and may recommend Schwab Managed Account programs (Select, Access and Marketplace) or other sub‑advisers. Clients may impose investment restrictions, and Compass Rose discloses that it primarily implements management through a wrap fee program it sponsors while also assisting clients in selecting and monitoring third‑party managers.

What is distinctive is that, with roughly $103 million in assets under management and four investment adviser representatives, the firm sponsors its own wrap fee program and explicitly documents its use and oversight of sub‑advisers (including relationships with Schwab and LTAM). Compass Rose’s advisers are dually registered as broker‑dealer representatives with Vanderbilt and several are licensed insurance agents (two are licensed with the New York Department of Financial Services to offer life insurance in New York); the brochure discloses these arrangements and the firm’s procedures for addressing related 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.

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
