About
Dauntless Advisory, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and integrated financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals and charitable organizations, tailoring its services to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. The firm documents client objectives and may implement portfolios on a discretionary basis or with client‑imposed restrictions.
DA’s investment approach combines cyclical and fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory and quantitative tools, and it acts in a fiduciary capacity when advising retirement accounts. For certain separately managed-account strategies DA delegates day‑to‑day discretionary management to Brooklyn Investment Group, LLC, which implements ETF management, tax‑advantaged equity and balanced strategies and, in some implementations, long/short (including 130/30), short sales and leverage.
Compared with many peers, DA is a recently formed, manager‑managed adviser that reports approximately $16.14 million in discretionary regulatory assets under management while relying on a small client base and a four‑person advisory team, yet provides access to strategies that can use leverage and shorting through a subadviser. The firm discloses outside business activities for certain management persons, uses Charles Schwab as its recommended custodian, does not participate in wrap fee programs, and does not accept performance‑based fees.

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.
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
