About

Hawley Advisors provides personalized financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported managing about $74.2 million in client assets across roughly 59 household relationships and operates with two advisory professionals; it primarily serves individual and high-net-worth clients and bills advisory fees as a percentage of assets under management.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, implemented mainly with no-load or load-waived mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in a core-and-satellite framework, with periodic rebalancing and tactical adjustments as market conditions warrant. Hawley Advisors accepts discretionary trading authority, may hold defensive cash or short-term instruments in volatile markets, and provides quarterly written updates and performance reports to clients.

The brochure discloses a notable ancillary activity: a principal and advisory affiliates are licensed insurance agents who may receive insurance commissions for products sold outside the advisory fee arrangement, and the firm states advisory affiliates devote roughly 99% of their time to advisory services and about 1% to insurance—an arrangement the firm treats as a disclosed potential conflict of interest. The firm also uses third-party research (including MKG Capital and occasional referrals to that firm), does not vote client proxies (clients retain proxy voting), and documents these operational details alongside its small-advisor, mid-sized-AUM profile.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
