About

Copper Harbor Investment Advisors is an employee‑owned registered investment adviser operating with a six‑advisor team that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and defined contribution plans, trusts, estates, charitable/non‑profit entities, corporations, and other business entities. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan advisory (including plan design and monitoring), and support for self‑directed accounts.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long‑term asset allocation and fundamental analysis, focusing primarily on publicly traded equities and fixed income and generally avoiding market timing; client portfolios are managed in accordance with written Investment Policy Statements and reviewed periodically. Copper Harbor commonly uses custodians such as Charles Schwab Institutional and Fidelity, may engage independent sub‑advisors for portions of client accounts, and provides ongoing account supervision and periodic performance reviews.

A distinguishing feature in Copper Harbor’s brochure is its in‑house client communications and retirement plan support: the firm produces periodic firm‑generated account statements (which may include rate‑of‑return calculations) and offers participant education and plan‑related meetings in addition to custodian statements. The firm also highlights a multi‑disciplined team with professional credentials in financial planning, trust/fiduciary and retirement plan specialties (CFP®, CTFA™, CRPS®), and recent expanded employee ownership, reflecting combined expertise in both individual wealth management and institutional retirement plan services.

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
