About

Cutler Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, retirement plans and private investment funds. The firm manages separately managed accounts and serves as the general partner and investment manager of private funds, and delivers tailored advisory services based on each client's objectives and risk tolerance.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes convertible securities, concentrated exposure to the financials sector (notably community banks), and public real estate securities (REITs), using both fundamental and technical analysis. Cutler may implement strategies across separately managed accounts and funds that include convertible ETFs, margin and leverage, short selling and option strategies, and seeks to diversify holdings across sectors and market capitalizations.

Compared with many peers, Cutler’s business includes pooled investment vehicles and private fund management alongside individual account management, and it offers performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients and certain fund classes. The firm discloses performance results to investors (quarterly letters showing year‑to‑date, after‑fee performance), aggregates trade orders across account types, and documents allocation procedures that may prioritize opportunistic or illiquid opportunities for the funds and related accounts, creating specific allocation and conflict‑of‑interest considerations that the firm addresses in its policies.

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
