About

J.M. Arbour serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charities, and other business entities. The firm provides comprehensive financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, sub‑advisory services through Schwab’s Managed Account Marketplace, and acts as investment manager for private funds (JMA Private Credit Series and JMA Venture Fund Series).

The firm typically implements client objectives using model portfolios developed by sub‑advisers and third‑party model providers, and it supervises ongoing rebalancing and account-level customizations. J.M. Arbour also offers strategies such as direct indexing and may employ derivatives and options and advise on securities‑backed lines of credit (SBLOCs), noting these approaches can introduce additional risks and require informed client decisions.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include the firm’s routine preparation of performance reports (with a disclosed $50 annual administrative/technology fee applied to accounts included in those reports) and its disclosure of performance‑based compensation and a carried interest arrangement for its venture fund. The brochure also explicitly discusses the firm’s use of derivatives, the possibility of borrowing against accounts, direct indexing strategies, management of private funds limited to accredited investors, and the use of AI tools for certain services and meeting transcriptions.

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.

Find your advisor

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
