About
Hartley Advisors Corporation is a fee-only, SEC-registered boutique adviser that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), families, trusts, and employer-sponsored retirement plans. The firm offers discretionary investment management and optional portfolio monitoring/review services, and provides ERISA-plan consulting and participant education for retirement plans.
The firm combines a top-down economic perspective with bottom-up fundamental and technical analysis to construct diversified portfolios across dividend, value and growth equities, ETFs, closed-end funds, fixed income, and commodity-related funds. Portfolios are managed under client-specific written guidelines with continuous supervision, periodic (at least quarterly) reviews, and selective use of covered call and put strategies for income generation and hedging.
Hartley is a small, family-owned firm with a compact advisory team that manages accounts on a discretionary basis while retaining the ability to accept smaller accounts at its discretion. Noteworthy operational features disclosed in the brochure include acting as an ERISA fiduciary for plan sponsors, investing firm capital alongside client recommendations, and calculating advisory fees on gross account value that includes margin-financed securities, a practice the firm identifies as creating a potential incentive related to margin use.

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
