About

Guardian Partners Inc. provides discretionary portfolio management and Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) services to a diverse client mix. Its clients include high‑net‑worth individuals and families as well as institutional investors such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, pooled investment vehicles, charitable organizations, corporations, municipal and other government entities, and other investment advisers.

The firm follows an IPS‑driven, customized investment process and uses an open‑architecture, multi‑manager model to build portfolios. An in‑house Strategies and Solutions Group conducts manager research and due diligence, and the firm implements client strategies via managed accounts and proprietary pooled funds while providing manager selection, onboarding, monitoring, rebalancing, and performance reporting.

Compared with many peers, Guardian Partners operates within a broader financial group and discloses affiliations with a banking entity, a broker‑dealer, and multiple affiliated asset managers, and it has recently integrated another advisory business into its platform. It also manages pooled vehicles and provides portfolio management for institutional clients, serves a significant non‑U.S. client base, and explicitly acts as the selector and overseer of third‑party managers—features that are less common among firms in its category.

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
