About

Hamrick Investment Counsel, LLC provides discretionary investment supervisory services and limited financial consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), foundations, nonprofit organizations, and certain corporate retirement plans. The firm manages portfolios using publicly traded securities—stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and REITs—and delivers ongoing portfolio management alongside occasional stand‑alone consulting for specific life events or transactions.

The firm’s investment approach is conservative and generally longer term, with an emphasis on asset allocation and broad diversification and active asset‑allocation adjustments typically confined to plus or minus 10% of target weights. Portfolios are implemented primarily with low‑cost index funds, select no‑load active funds, ETFs, and individual stocks held in a model stock portfolio; client objectives are documented in written investment policy statements and accounts are monitored regularly with quarterly reporting.

Compared with peers, Hamrick discloses use of artificial intelligence tools in investment research, financial planning, and administrative processes and describes supervisory procedures and data‑protection measures to review AI‑assisted outputs, a practice still uncommon among similar‑sized advisory firms. The firm is fee‑only, operates with a three‑advisor team overseeing roughly $299 million for about 99 clients, does not sponsor wrap or performance‑based fee programs, and maintains proxy‑voting policies while avoiding proprietary product conflicts.

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
