About
Kinwell provides ongoing portfolio management to individual and high‑net‑worth clients and offers pension and employee benefit plan consulting for employer‑sponsored plans. The SEC‑registered firm operates with a small advisory team (two advisors) overseeing roughly $215 million in client assets.
The firm implements client‑specific investment policy statements and may manage accounts on a discretionary basis, applying modern portfolio theory and a long‑term trading approach across a wide range of asset types, including funds, ETFs, fixed income, real‑estate funds, annuities, commodities, private placements and venture capital. Kinwell documents risk tolerances, seeks fair allocation of limited‑supply opportunities (such as IPOs), and requires use of its selected custodians for client accounts.
Distinctive features include a formal pension consulting practice that combines asset‑based and fixed‑fee plan services with eligibility criteria that not all peers offer, and a notable split between discretionary and non‑discretionary assets under management. The firm also discloses the use of AI and machine‑learning tools in its operations, may engage third‑party 3(38) managers while retaining oversight, and receives institutional services and research access from its custodial relationships.

Advisors at this firm
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
