About

Federal Hill Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning to individual clients — including high-net-worth households — as well as trusts, pension plans, and other institutional entities. The firm also offers insurance advisory services and acts as an insurance broker/agent, selling life, health and annuity products alongside its investment services.

FHCM’s investment process combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis across strategies that range from conservative fixed-income to speculative equity and options approaches. The firm routinely employs derivatives (including options and leveraged ETFs) and may use margin or borrowing in separately managed accounts to implement certain objectives, practices that are less common among similarly sized supported firms.

Distinctive features include a small advisory team managing roughly $55.6 million across several hundred client relationships while also operating as an insurance producer that may receive commissions for insurance product sales, a potential conflict the brochure discloses and addresses by encouraging clients to seek outside quotes. FHCM also uses alternative custodial arrangements for non‑public investments (e.g., Digital Trust for real property and promissory notes) and may take custody for fee deduction and trustee responsibilities in certain client engagements.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
