About
Derastone (doing business as Wealth Habits and Strategic Investors) provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pensions, trusts, corporations, and institutional investors. Services are delivered primarily through separately managed accounts with trading discretion, alongside fixed‑scope or subscription financial planning and consulting engagements.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes fundamental company analysis together with macroeconomic considerations and implements a core‑satellite portfolio construction that is equity‑focused but may include ETFs, fixed income, options, currencies, and other instruments. Portfolios may employ active tactics — including concentrated positions, short sales, margin, and options strategies — and suitability, goals, and risk tolerances are documented and reviewed for each account.
Compared with many independent advisers, Derastone manages a relatively large amount of assets for a small client base and explicitly serves corporate and institutional clients in addition to individuals, including a significant non‑U.S. client presence. The firm is also affiliated with accounting and tax practices and is led by a principal with CPA and advanced tax and consulting credentials, which the brochure indicates is used to coordinate tax and planning work alongside investment management.

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
