About

First Light Investment Advisors provides fee-based, discretionary portfolio management to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, overseeing roughly 41 client relationships and about $12.4 million in assets under management. The firm’s client base is primarily individual investors rather than high‑net‑worth households.

The firm implements a tactical asset allocation strategy and customizes portfolios to client objectives, drawing on fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis. Portfolio implementation may include listed equities and options, short- and long-term trading, and the use of cash positions as tactical hedges; clients may also impose investment restrictions that the advisor will accommodate.

Compared with many peers, First Light is notable for not reporting high‑net‑worth clients and for operating at a modest scale with a small advisory team, emphasizing hands‑on discretionary management rather than selecting other advisers or participating in wrap programs. The brochure also discloses that the firm does not vote client proxies and reports no material industry affiliations, which may matter to clients who want direct control over proxy voting and limited external conflicts.

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
