About

Crescent Sterling, Ltd. provides investment management, financial planning, and consulting to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households) as well as corporations, retirement plans, foundations and trusts. The firm is fee‑only and typically bills on a percentage‑of‑assets basis while also offering hourly planning/consulting engagements.

The firm primarily manages discretionary accounts — roughly $184.5 million of the firm’s $210.2 million in assets was managed on a discretionary basis as of 12/31/2025 — and uses a bottom‑up equity process focused on earnings growth and fundamental valuation alongside defined selling disciplines. Portfolios are constructed with concentrated equity sleeves (generally 15–30 stocks, often 70–90% invested), complemented by laddered fixed‑income holdings (maturities generally 15 years or less) and selective use of ETFs or money‑market positions when market conditions warrant.

Crescent Sterling is an established, small team (four advisors) that combines personalized account oversight with explicit operational rules for trade aggregation and allocation, including detailed procedures for block purchases and partial fills. The firm also does not vote client proxies on clients’ behalf — clients retain proxy voting responsibility — and maintains written controls around employee trading and ethics, which it documents in its Code of Ethics.

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
