About

Drake & Associates serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, and related services, including introductions to a third‑party cash management program and insurance products offered through an affiliated agency. The firm operates as a multi‑advisor team managing roughly $607 million in client assets across several thousand client relationships.

Drake follows a top‑down, model‑driven investment process that uses LSA Portfolio Analytics to select and tailor asset allocation model portfolios based on a documented risk tolerance questionnaire and client objectives. Portfolios are implemented mainly with ETFs, mutual funds and equities, held at Charles Schwab under the firm’s discretionary authority, and Drake uses technology — including AI‑enabled tools — to support administrative and client‑servicing workflows.

Notable distinctions include the firm’s use of testimonials and endorsements in advertising and the provision of educational seminars or workshops, practices that are uncommon among similar team firms. The firm also integrates fee‑based introductions to a cash management platform (for which it receives a disclosed administrative fee) and operates an affiliated insurance sales channel that may generate commission revenue; these arrangements are disclosed and supervised, and the firm generally requires clients to custody assets at its recommended custodian, which can affect execution options.

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.
