About
FERN Impact Advisors serves individual and institutional investors through discretionary portfolio management and financial planning, and provides separately managed accounts tailored to clients’ objectives. The firm also recommends and may place clients into other investment vehicles, including private equity vehicles and pooled products, when appropriate.
FERN’s investment process combines a macroeconomic cyclical outlook with a proprietary model that integrates fundamental analysis, ESG/impact criteria, technical analysis and firm-wide risk controls to implement strategic and tactical allocations. Portfolios may employ derivatives and option strategies, and the firm provides ongoing reporting to clients, including monthly performance statements and written financial plans.
Distinctively, FERN is affiliated with and acts alongside a private long/short ESG investment fund, operating as an investment manager and sponsor and receiving fund-based management and incentive allocations, which can create conflicts of interest the firm discloses and mitigates through policies. The adviser also deals in a range of less-common products for firms of its size — hedge fund interests, managed futures, non-exchange real estate interests and other private offerings — while serving primarily non‑high‑net‑worth individual clients.

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
