About

The firm provides discretionary asset management and customized portfolio services to a mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, banks, corporations and other investment advisers. Like many firms in its category, it charges asset-based advisory fees and focuses on ongoing portfolio management for individual clients.

Cornerstone Select employs a top‑down investment process that emphasizes value‑based metrics supplemented by a technical trading overlay; security selection is driven by analysis of cash flow, invested capital and peer‑group capital charges to estimate economic value, while technical indicators are used to time entries and exits. Portfolios are monitored continuously and can be tailored to client objectives and written investment restrictions.

The firm is atypical among peers in that it both serves and sub‑advises other investment advisers, and several principals and registered employees are licensed insurance agents who may recommend and be compensated for insurance products. Its most recent brochure discloses material changes, including a revision to its fee schedule and a decision to no longer exercise proxy‑voting authority on clients’ behalf, with clients receiving proxy materials directly from custodians.

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
