About
Ivy Advisors is an independent, single-advisor firm that operates exclusively as the general partner and investment manager of a private investment partnership. It provides discretionary asset management and administers investor reporting for the fund, including monthly NAV calculations, quarterly statements and annual audited financials.
The fund follows a long‑biased, relative‑value approach that focuses on highly liquid, publicly traded securities and seeks diversification across geographies, sectors and individual positions; the firm uses fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis in security selection. Trading is active and can include short sales and the use of derivatives in managed accounts, with daily account reviews as part of the firm’s risk management processes.
Compared with many independent advisers that serve individual retail clients, Ivy Advisors is structured and operated like a small hedge fund manager, including a performance‑based compensation arrangement with high‑water‑mark provisions and a prime‑broker relationship (the firm discloses Merrill Lynch as prime broker). The firm also maintains institutional‑style controls—written policies on proxy voting and a code of ethics, third‑party administration of NAVs, and documented trade execution reviews—despite its small size and limited client base.

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
