About

Crescent Grove Advisors provides integrated wealth management, family office and Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) services to high‑net‑worth individuals, family offices and institutional clients, and also offers a portfolio advisory line for clients with $1–10 million in liquid investable assets. The firm routinely provides financial planning, trust and estate planning, tax and insurance consulting, and discretionary portfolio management across mutual funds, ETFs, independent managers and alternative investments.

The firm’s investment process is centered on a client‑specific investment policy statement (IPS) and an asset‑allocation framework overseen by a Crescent Grove Investment Committee that sources Independent Managers and alternative strategies; performance measurement and reporting draw on external sources such as Bloomberg and fund sponsors. The brochure discloses that Crescent Grove advertises hypothetical performance and uses client testimonials in its marketing, and it describes reliance on third‑party data and tools (including limited use of AI for internal support) when preparing performance information and client communications.

What distinguishes Crescent Grove from many peers is its affiliate relationships and related operational arrangements: it is affiliated with Barrett Upton Capital Partners (a private fund‑of‑funds manager) under a staff and expense sharing agreement and discloses a streamlined due diligence process for affiliated funds, while employees may invest alongside clients in private fund offerings and serve on certain advisory boards; the firm also discloses insurance‑product sales through an affiliate that generates commissions and a referral/bonus program for employees. These organizational links and the firm’s described controls around conflicts, custody negotiations with Fidelity, and use of layered private fund structures are notable governance and operational features called out in the brochure.

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
