About

Croak Capital (Croak Asset Management) serves a mix of individual clients — both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth households — as well as pension plans, charitable organizations, and businesses, managing roughly $364 million with a six‑adviser team. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, and specialized real‑estate 1031/Delaware Statutory Trust advisory, and it offers held‑away account aggregation and management through the Pontera platform.

Advisors describe an investment process that combines fundamental, technical, cyclical, charting analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory across custom model portfolios and strategies such as direct indexing and covered option writing. The brochure also discloses use of AI tools for analysis and meeting transcription, and states the firm sponsors a wrap fee program and is transitioning clients into that program with wrap trades executed through Schwab.

Several features called out in the disclosure are uncommon for peer team firms: Croak acts as a wrap program sponsor, it discloses the use of client testimonials in marketing materials, and it maintains formal affiliations with an accounting entity (CAM Tax, LLC) and an affiliated insurance firm (CAM Insurance, LLC). The firm’s brochure also details relationships with broker‑dealers and product vendors (including registered‑rep activity with PKS and custodial and vendor benefits from Schwab) and notes those referral and compensation arrangements in its disclosures.

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
