About
Drost Financial is a state-registered advisory firm that provides discretionary investment management and ongoing comprehensive financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth households, young families, and corporate executives. The firm manages approximately $42.7 million for about 70 clients and develops personalized investment policy statements to guide portfolio construction and implementation.
The firm’s investment approach blends fundamental company analysis with modern portfolio theory, using both active and passive vehicles and considering asset-allocation, correlation, and smart/strategic beta factors when selecting funds and individual securities. Portfolios are supervised against client objectives and risk tolerances, with written financial plans, periodic reviews, and the ability for clients to impose reasonable investment restrictions.
Noteworthy for a firm of its size, Drost Financial offers a subscription-style ongoing financial planning service in addition to typical AUM-based management and does not recommend outside managers or accept third-party product compensation. The firm is a single-advisor practice whose principal maintains a separate non-investment business and expects to allocate a portion of professional time to that venture, a factor prospective clients may consider when assessing advisor availability and oversight.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
