About

Cypress Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations; the firm manages approximately $426 million on a discretionary basis and operates with a nine-advisor team. Its services include financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, retirement-plan consulting, sub‑adviser and model‑portfolio services, research reports, and estate distribution assistance.

The firm works with each client to develop a Financial Profile and an Investment Plan and typically implements those plans on a discretionary basis, allocating among proprietary models and individual securities tailored to the client’s goals and risk tolerance. Investment decisions combine quantitative and qualitative analysis across several named models (for example Global Allocation, Select Dividend, Strategic Income, US Opportunity, Asset Neutral and Technology & Innovation), and certain strategies may use option overwriting, hedging, or other derivatives as part of risk‑management or income objectives.

Noteworthy aspects of Cypress Capital relative to many peers include a paid subscription research and commentary offering and a regular published weekly market digest, participation in a paid endorsement/referral arrangement (the SmartVestor program) that generates marketing leads, and active roles as a sub‑adviser and model provider to third‑party platforms and wrap program arrangements. The brochure also emphasizes the firm’s explicit use of separate account managers when appropriate and the documented use of options and hedging techniques in designated models and separately managed strategies, practices that are less common among comparable team firms.

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
