About
Essex Capital Management is a fee-only, registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers ongoing investment management, hourly or flat-fee financial planning and consultation, and may conduct group educational workshops for employee or community groups.
The firm constructs client-specific Investment Policy Statements and emphasizes asset allocation, diversified exposure through mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and non‑correlating assets, and periodic rebalancing guided by both fundamental and technical analysis. Client engagements begin with a financial wellness review and risk/tolerance questionnaires, and accounts receive regular monitoring with monthly/quarterly reporting and at least an annual portfolio review.
Compared with many peers, the brochure notes the firm conducts educational workshops and may impose a fee (often paid by a sponsoring employer or group), and it participates in an institutional custodial platform and Model Marketplace (Altruist) that provides technology and model access as well as support services tied to platform asset thresholds—an arrangement the firm discloses as creating a potential conflict of interest. The firm also documents specific privacy and cybersecurity practices, including a Written Information Security Program and the limited use of AI tools (Hazel AI) under stated “zero data retention” protocols.

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
