About
James Investment Research, Inc. is an SEC-registered investment adviser that serves a mix of individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations, and investment-company clients. The firm provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management for individual accounts, model portfolio management via unified managed account (wrap) programs, financial planning, retirement-plan fiduciary services, and separately contracted tax, accounting, and business consulting services.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by an Investment Committee and multiple portfolio managers who review holdings and asset allocations on a regular basis. Portfolios can include long- and short-term positions, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, and customized strategies such as direct indexing (implemented through sub‑advisors), and client-imposed restrictions are accommodated where feasible.
What distinguishes James Investment Research from many team firms is that it acts as the investment adviser to its own family of mutual funds (the James Advantage Funds) and manages investment-company assets, while also participating as a model manager and wrap program sponsor. The firm also offers CPA‑supervised tax and accounting services alongside advisory work and discloses distribution, referral and promotional arrangements (including 12b-1 payments and outside promoter/referral fees), which can create potential conflicts of interest that are described in its brochure.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
