About
Couleur Investments provides investment management and standalone financial planning and consulting to individuals, families, trusts, estates, foundations, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm delivers discretionary portfolio management alongside written financial plans or shorter consultations, and places client assets with Charles Schwab as custodian; it does not impose a firm-wide account minimum.
The adviser follows a top‑down investment process that emphasizes high‑quality growth and undervalued securities, using fundamental analysis supported by technical, cyclical and event‑driven analysis and a long‑term holding orientation. Couleur Investments exercises trading discretion for client accounts, reviews portfolios daily when markets are open, and explicitly considers clients’ personal and social values in security selection.
Notable features for a small registered adviser include multi‑state registration (California, Illinois, Iowa and Tennessee), the availability of standalone planning engagements billed hourly or as a flat fee, and an operational practice of authorizing direct fee debits from custodian accounts with client authorization. The brochure discloses no disciplinary history and describes a written Code of Ethics and personal‑trading controls intended to mitigate conflicts related to adviser trading.

Forms ADV
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.
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
