About

Cornerstone Advisors, LLC is an SEC‑registered investment management firm that works with individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations, charitable organizations, trusts, estates, and retirement plans. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning (often included in the management relationship, with separate engagement available for complex plans), and limited-scope consulting services.

Investment decisions are guided by client profiles developed through discussions of objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance, and portfolios are built around asset allocation principles and Modern Portfolio Theory. Portfolios generally use no‑load mutual funds and ETFs (favoring institutional share classes when available), and the firm may recommend alternatives such as non‑traded REITs or structured notes for qualified clients; ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews are provided with discretionary trading where authorized.

Compared with many similar-sized team firms, Cornerstone operates with a relatively small advisory team managing roughly $265 million for about 464 clients, producing an elevated client load per advisor that affects how services are delivered. The firm also emphasizes coordinated planning with clients’ other professionals, accepts and manages legacy holdings, and uses third‑party administrative tools (Advyzon) alongside custodial relationships (e.g., Schwab) to support reporting and operations.

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
