About
Intelligence Driven Advisers, LLC (IDA) is an SEC‑registered multi‑team advisory firm that manages roughly $882 million for a mix of individual and institutional clients, including retirement plans, trusts, estates, and Native American sovereign entities. The firm offers financial planning, discretionary investment management through model “IDA Strategies” and custom accounts, retirement plan solutions (3(21)/3(38)), consulting, and held‑away account management and robo‑adviser implementations.
IDA’s investment process is overseen by an Investment Committee that constructs model portfolios using primarily low‑cost institutional mutual funds and ETFs, with risk management and fundamental analysis central to portfolio construction; the firm may also deploy alternatives, Private Funds, options strategies, and margin when appropriate. Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis, and IDA provides coordinated planning that may involve tax and legal professionals as well as third‑party platforms (e.g., Pontera for held‑away assets and Betterment recommendations).
What distinguishes IDA from many peers is its range of affiliated and sponsor activities: it is the adviser to the IDA Private Access Fund (ONEFX) and has had involvement with private real estate vehicles via an affiliated sponsor, operates an affiliated insurance agency (Intelligence Driven Insurance Solutions) whose agents receive commissions and discloses receipt of commissions from Halo Investing for certain variable annuity consulting, and wholly owns an accounting/tax affiliate (IDA Tax, LLC). The firm also participates in administrative programs such as the PenChecks automatic rollover service and discloses modeled or hypothetical performance for its strategies and conflicts related to affiliated products in its Form 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
