About

KLCM Advisors, Inc. provides discretionary portfolio management to high‑net‑worth individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporate clients. The firm manages separate accounts across value equity, balanced (value equity and fixed income), and fixed income strategies, generally using a $500,000 minimum with exceptions and stating it does not incorporate ESG criteria.

The firm emphasizes fundamental, value‑oriented equity research—focusing on cash flow, enterprise value, valuation, and identifying catalysts over a two‑ to three‑year horizon—and applies traditional credit analysis for fixed income. KLCM discloses the use of derivatives in some separately managed accounts (including covered‑call writing and other options strategies), calculates investment performance using custodian or independent pricing sources, and provides quarterly written investment reviews.

KLCM manages roughly $1.9 billion in discretionary assets with a small advisory team, producing a relatively high AUM per advisor compared with many peer team firms. The firm also relies on soft‑dollar research arrangements and participation in Schwab referral/support programs and discloses practices around trade execution and performance reporting—practices such as routinely using derivatives in SMAs and publicly reporting performance that are less common among similar firms.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
