About
Echelons Capital, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages $174,388,110 in discretionary client assets for a small client base (34 clients) through two advisors. The firm serves individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, charitable organizations, and businesses, offering discretionary portfolio management alongside financial planning and consulting for a fee.
The firm typically operates with discretionary authority and relies on model portfolios and third‑party managers to implement strategies; it discloses a formal sub‑advisor relationship with Quantinno Capital Management LP, whose programs employ systematic long/short equity approaches, leverage, derivatives, short sales, margin and tax‑aware trading. Echelons retains overall advisory responsibility and may both monitor and replace sub‑advisers while also advising on a wide range of investments, including alternatives, structured products, options, and REITs.
Compared with many similarly sized, supported RIAs, Echelons has a small client roster and a relatively large average account size (roughly $5.1 million per client) and generally requires a $5,000,000 account minimum (subject to waiver), signaling a focus on higher‑net‑worth relationships. The firm’s use of an external manager that explicitly uses leverage, derivatives, and tax‑aware trading, combined with its willingness to aggregate trades and restrict proxy voting to clients, are distinguishing operational features disclosed in the brochure.

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
