About

Empirical Asset Management (EAM) provides discretionary investment management to a broad client mix that includes individual and high-net-worth investors, trusts and estates, retirement plans, pooled investment vehicles, charitable organizations, businesses, institutions, and other investment advisers. The firm also offers retirement-plan advisory and financial-institution consulting services and acts as the sponsor of a wrap-fee program for certain legacy clients.

EAM’s investment process is rules-based and long-term oriented, using its proprietary Rules Based Investing® methodology to implement diversified portfolios built from low-cost ETFs, mutual funds and select individual securities or alternative vehicles. The firm operates multiple model strategies (e.g., asset-allocation composites, sector rotation, sustainable equity, income, all-cap and value-oriented strategies), rebalances on a defined schedule, and layers third‑party research (S&P, Zacks, Trefis) and systematic overlays into portfolio construction.

Notable distinctions from many peers include serving other investment advisers and brokerage customers, acting as a private-fund adviser and managing pooled vehicles, and sponsoring a wrap-fee program; the firm’s marketing materials also include performance composites and third‑party research references. EAM’s product set and trading toolkit include derivatives, short-sale and options activity in its pooled fund strategies and it discloses the potential conflicts that arise when recommending its affiliated pooled fund while describing procedural mitigants (offering documents, required disclosures, and high-water mark arrangements); the firm’s brochure does not describe a standalone financial-planning service.

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.

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
