About

F.L. Putnam serves a broad client base that includes individual investors and their families as well as institutions such as foundations, endowments, schools, religious organizations, family offices, and registered investment companies. The firm offers discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, financial planning, separately managed accounts, OCIO-style advisory and consulting, family office solutions, and delivers strategies through wrap programs and model providers while also advising and sub-advising pooled investment vehicles.

Investment management is team-based and customized to each client’s objectives, drawing on internally managed strategies and third‑party managers across equities, fixed income, and alternative investments, with options for sustainable investing and optimized indexing that incorporate tax-aware rebalancing for taxable clients. FLP describes a research process that combines macroeconomic and security-level analysis and notes the limited use of artificial intelligence tools for research and administrative tasks while reserving final investment decisions to qualified professionals.

The firm’s brochure highlights several features that distinguish it from many peers: it owns a trust services subsidiary (Darwin Trust Company), serves as the investment adviser to an interval alternative vehicle (the AOG Institutional Fund) and as a consultative sub-adviser to the AFA Asset Based Lending Fund, and discloses predecessor performance in its materials. FLP also issues periodic client communications and has recently reported material changes in its ADV (including a recent merger and new strategy and technology disclosures), all of which are documented in its regulatory disclosures.

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
