About
Downie Financial Group is a small, state‑registered independent investment adviser managing roughly $35 million in discretionary assets for about 133 individual and business clients. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management and a range of financial planning services, including comprehensive plans delivered via upfront fixed fees, hourly engagements, or ongoing retainers, and it provides periodic educational seminars on a pro‑bono basis.
The firm’s investment approach centers on passive portfolio construction using index mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds to achieve targeted asset‑class exposures, low internal costs, and tax efficiency, with asset allocation guided by each client’s investment policy and risk tolerance. Complementing its passive framework, the adviser also employs fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analysis and routinely manages accounts on a discretionary basis.
Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include acting as both sponsor and portfolio manager for a wrap fee program and offering pro‑bono seminars and speaking engagements, features that are uncommon for similar solo independent advisers. The firm’s materials reference third‑party ratings, it provides written reporting to clients with at least $100,000 under management, and it discloses a recommended custodian relationship (and related soft‑dollar benefits) in its disclosures.

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
