About
Hillgate Financial, LLC is a New Jersey-registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment supervisory services tailored to client objectives, risk tolerances, and planning horizons. The firm's brochure describes serving individuals, trusts, and estates and notes a typical ongoing-management minimum of $1 million, with assistance in account setup and regular reporting.
The firm applies modern portfolio theory to construct broadly diversified portfolios that rely predominantly on passively managed funds and ETFs, citing Dimensional Fund Advisors and Vanguard among providers and favoring value and small-cap tilts. For fixed income it generally uses bond funds, laddered U.S. Treasuries, and FDIC-insured CDs, and incorporates tax-aware selection and rebalancing for taxable accounts.
A notable detail in the brochure is a historical disclosure of approximately $400.5 million in discretionary assets managed across a small number of client relationships as of 2012, an asset-to-staff ratio that is uncommon for a single-advisor operation focused on individualized portfolios. The firm also states it has no broker‑dealer or other financial‑industry affiliations, does not vote client proxies, and does not receive third‑party compensation, which shapes its stated conflict‑of‑interest and operational profile relative to many peers.

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
