About

Craftwork Capital primarily serves individual and high-net-worth clients, as well as trusts, estates, and employer-sponsored retirement plans. The firm provides financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, and access to third‑party web-based platforms (including the Zoe Financial digital wealth platform and the Betterment at Work retirement platform).

The firm builds individualized portfolios using model portfolios and separately managed account options available through custodial platforms, including direct indexing strategies; it monitors accounts continuously, rebalances as needed, and offers ongoing plan maintenance and targeted financial planning engagements. Craftwork Capital generally manages assets on a discretionary basis and documents client objectives, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs to guide portfolio construction and periodic reviews.

Compared with many peers, Craftwork Capital discloses the use of borrowing and derivatives within separately managed accounts—its brochure references margin, short selling, and options strategies and explains assistance with securities‑backed lines of credit (SBLOCs) and the attendant conflicts and risks. The firm also notes use of AI tools for service delivery and meeting transcription and participates in multiple digital custody/management arrangements (Zoe/Apex and Betterment), which together represent less common features for firms in this supported category.

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
