About

Corkern & Co. provides comprehensive private, multi‑generational wealth management to high‑net‑worth individuals, families, trusts and institutional clients, overseeing about $162 million for roughly 80 client relationships. The firm bills advisory services as a percentage of assets under management and combines portfolio management with broader planning areas such as tax, debt, estate and charitable planning.

The firm’s investment process is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and uses portfolio optimization software to produce customized asset allocations and written Investment Policy Statements, implementing portfolios primarily with no‑load mutual funds, ETFs and occasional individual securities. Corkern & Co. operates on a non‑discretionary basis—recommending trades, rebalancing and quantitative or qualitative changes but obtaining client authorization before execution—and provides quarterly reporting, back‑testing and “worst‑case” loss analysis.

Noteworthy features include that essentially all client assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis, a practice that is uncommon among peer firms, and a client mix concentrated on high‑net‑worth and multi‑generational households rather than non‑HNW retail clients. The firm also holds CEFEX certification for fiduciary practices and uses an estate‑planning technology platform (with advisor read‑only visibility) to assist clients in creating and administering estate documents.

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
