About

Howard Capital Management Group, LLC provides discretionary investment management to high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, foundations, endowments and other institutions, typically with a $1 million account minimum and roughly $2.56 billion in discretionary assets under management. Its services cover portfolio management across equities, fixed income and ETFs, and HCM offers access to alternative investments — private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real assets — to eligible clients via model portfolios.

HCM’s investment process draws on fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and generally emphasizes buy-and-hold positioning while permitting occasional tactical trades, short sales or margin usage where appropriate. For alternatives, HCM uses third‑party model portfolios and states that the third‑party advisor is its sole source for alternative fund recommendations; HCM pays an annual fee to that provider and reviews fund valuations through an internal valuation committee while acting as an ERISA fiduciary for retirement‑plan clients.

The firm is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Focus Financial Partners, a partnership whose ownership structure and network of “Focus Partners” includes other advisers and service firms (including pension consulting and related providers), which can affect access to products and raise potential conflicts of interest in recommendations and sponsorship arrangements. HCM’s reliance on a sole‑source model portfolio provider for alternatives and the firm’s lack of stand‑alone financial planning services are features that distinguish it from many multi‑team peers.

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.
