About

GEM Asset Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as qualified retirement plans, charitable institutions, and foundations, providing discretionary investment management and stand‑alone financial planning. The firm reports managing roughly $628 million on a discretionary basis and also offers non‑discretionary participant advice and ERISA‑related plan consulting.

GEM implements globally diversified, target model portfolios that emphasize factor‑driven allocations—specifically size, value, and profitability premiums—and generally seeks low‑cost passive funds while selectively using active managers in less efficient sectors. For concentrated stock positions and tax‑sensitive transitions the firm allocates sleeves to unaffiliated Independent Managers using SpiderRock proprietary models (for example SRHEC, SREFR, SRCSP) and may employ option overlays and structured‑note replication; it also manages held‑away retirement accounts through a third‑party platform.

Distinctive features include a relatively small advisory team overseeing over $600 million while integrating third‑party “held‑away” account management and outsourced proprietary‑model sleeves that use derivatives and hedging techniques. The firm provides ERISA 3(21) fiduciary advice to qualified plans and participant‑level advice, and it routinely recommends a single institutional custodian platform for custody and trade execution while maintaining oversight of independent sub‑advisers.

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
