About
ELM Asset Management provides discretionary investment management to individuals, trusts, estates and charitable entities through separately managed accounts. The firm operates on a fee-only, percentage-of-AUM basis and generally requires a $250,000 account minimum (which it may waive), delivering account-level ownership rather than pooled vehicles.
Portfolios are constructed using a blend of analysis methods (charting, fundamental and technical analysis) and implemented via two core approaches: an actively traded growth strategy driven by an equity relative-value and market-timing model, and a more moderate income strategy focused on income-producing securities. The firm’s listed investment tools include exchange-listed and OTC securities, corporate debt, mutual funds and option contracts, and client accounts are reviewed periodically.
Notable distinctions include the firm’s small, owner-operated scale—two advisors managing roughly $5.9 million in discretionary AUM for a limited client base—which results in highly individualized account management. Also uncommon among peers, ELM employs derivatives (options) and uses borrowing within separately managed accounts, and it relies on a Schwab custody/clearing relationship that supports block trading and direct account execution.

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
