About

FourStar advises individuals, retirement and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities, offering financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, and retirement‑plan consulting. Financial planning components (cash flow, tax, estate, charitable giving, insurance) are available standalone or as part of comprehensive wealth‑management engagements.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and typically allocates client assets among mutual funds, ETFs, individual debt and equity securities, options, and third‑party independent managers, with portfolios managed primarily on a discretionary basis and tailored to clients’ risk tolerance and time horizon. FourStar also may recommend privately placed securities and invest eligible clients in pooled investment vehicles, while conducting ongoing monitoring of independent managers and model allocations.

Compared with many multi‑team peers, FourStar both operates and advises private funds and handles portfolio management for pooled vehicles, with client assets placed in those funds subject to fund‑level management fees (and not a separate advisory fee) and to required annual surprise examinations because of indirect custody. The firm discloses that several supervised persons are licensed insurance agents and registered representatives (which can generate commissions), and that some supervised persons are affiliated with another adviser that manages private funds; it cites disclosure and internal review as means to address those potential conflicts, and also notes relationships with numerous fund families that sponsor events for the firm.

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
