About
Diogenes Financial LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and hourly financial consulting primarily for individuals and individual retirement accounts, and it also accepts engagements with small businesses and retirement plans. Services described in the brochure include asset-based portfolio management, retirement and cash-flow planning, small-business financial consultations, and a one-time "aquatic consultation" offered for clients who prefer an outdoor meeting format.
The firm builds personalized portfolios using fundamental, cyclical, and technical analysis and accommodates ESG or other client-imposed restrictions, managing stocks, bonds, ETFs and select derivative instruments. The brochure discloses the use of equity options (including short puts and covered calls) for income and hedging, and it highlights ERISA fiduciary responsibilities and the specific risks and leverage implications associated with derivative strategies.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, Diogenes Financial combines a small, boutique scale—roughly $10.6 million in AUM and about two dozen clients—with a broader client mix that explicitly includes small businesses and retirement-plan clients. The firm’s operating practices described in the brochure — quarterly asset-fee billing, custodial relationships that provide soft-dollar research and trading services, and documented code-of-ethics and trade-allocation policies — frame how it implements customized and sometimes leveraged strategies for a concentrated client base.

Forms ADV
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
