About
Emerald Waves Investments, LLC provides fee-based investment advisory and portfolio management services to individuals and a range of institutional clients, including pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporate entities. As a solo independent registered firm, it manages approximately $4.16 million in discretionary assets for sixteen client relationships and integrates financial planning into its advisory services without providing a separate written plan.
The firm follows a tactical allocation philosophy and implements a long/short "RC Strategy" that requires active trading to maintain target allocations, using fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis. It invests across a broad set of instruments — including exchange‑listed and over‑the‑counter equities, foreign securities, corporate and municipal debt, mutual funds, government securities and options — and may employ cash positions, sector stock selections, and rebalancing to manage risk.
Distinctive features include the firm’s provision of portfolio management to institutional clients despite its small, single‑adviser structure — a practice that is uncommon among independent advisers. Emerald Waves operates on a discretionary basis, does not accept custody of client assets except for authorized fee deductions, and describes specific execution, order aggregation and ethical practices in its 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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
