About
Gulf Coast RIA is a state-registered investment adviser founded in 2021 that provides continuous investment portfolio management to individual investors, high-net-worth clients, charitable institutions, foundations, endowments, trusts and other entities; as of December 1, 2024 it reported approximately $20 million in discretionary assets and $3 million in non-discretionary assets. The firm manages accounts on a discretionary basis and provides advice across a wide range of securities, including exchange-listed and over‑the‑counter equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and options.
The firm’s investment approach is asset-allocation driven and combines fundamental and technical analysis with cyclical/seasonal, volatility and volume-flow analysis; it also uses back‑testing and may implement option overlay strategies. Gulf Coast RIA discloses that several of its services are actively managed, which can lead to higher trading frequency and attendant transaction and tax considerations.
Distinctive features relative to many peers include the firm’s small, owner-operated structure while offering active options and systematic analysis tools, and its use of custodial arrangements with AOS, dba MoneyBlock (with clearing at APEX) and TradeStation. The firm also states it does not receive soft dollars, does not vote client proxies, does not charge performance-based fees, and maintains a written Code of Ethics and personal trading policies.

Forms ADV
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
