About

Core Capital Management & Research serves individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, offering discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, asset allocation, investment selection, and ongoing portfolio monitoring. The firm also provides standard financial planning and investment policy services commonly offered by similarly sized advisory teams.

CCMR’s investment process combines charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and implements a range of strategies from long‑term buy‑and‑hold to short‑term trading, including short sales and option writing (covered and uncovered) and spreading strategies. Accounts are typically reviewed quarterly (or at least annually) with routine portfolio rebalancing and clients receive monthly custodial reporting of performance.

What distinguishes CCMR from many peers is its explicit disclosure and use of derivatives strategies (options and short sales) in client portfolios and its clearing/execution relationships with Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab, which the brochure identifies as the firms that clear and execute client trades. The brochure also shows the firm manages about $298.8 million with a near‑even split between discretionary and non‑discretionary assets and cites corporate rating services and the SEC adviser profile as research and disclosure channels, indicating a mix of external research use and public transparency that is less common among similar teams.

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
