About

Cullen Investment Group provides discretionary investment management, cash management, and 401(k) plan consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm’s Form ADV reports roughly $910 million in discretionary assets under management and several hundred client relationships, and it bills advisory fees on a percentage‑of‑AUM basis.

The firm follows a fundamentally driven, value‑oriented investment approach anchored by its “Basic Value Strategy,” which constructs concentrated portfolios of roughly 20–30 companies with low turnover and typical equity holding periods of three to five years. For retirement clients Cullen uses a defined “Bucket Approach” that maintains several years of conservative liquidity (money market funds, CDs, ultra‑short bond funds) for withdrawals while allocating growth assets to the value strategy, and it employs laddering and tax‑aware selections in its cash management work.

Noteworthy aspects disclosed in the brochure include Cullen’s recent acquisition by Aspen Standard Group, LLC (effective October 1, 2026) and its place within a group of affiliated registered advisers ultimately connected to Alpine Investors, a structure the firm identifies as a potential source of competing demands for investment opportunities. The brochure also shows the firm’s scope is primarily portfolio management and 401(k) consulting rather than comprehensive financial planning, and it uses Raymond James as its institutional custodian and executing broker while leaving proxy voting to clients.

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
