About

Klingenstein Fields Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and related advisory services to individuals, high‑net‑worth families, trusts, foundations, endowments and pooled investment vehicles, including private investment funds. The firm also recommends and, where appropriate, solicits qualified clients to participate in affiliated private funds and serves as adviser to several pooled vehicles.

The firm follows a team‑based, fundamental research approach with a long‑term orientation, operating both a closed‑architecture core equity model portfolio and an open‑architecture asset allocation framework that can deploy external managers after due diligence. For fixed income, the firm emphasizes high‑quality, laddered portfolios and seeks to limit turnover; it communicates with clients through quarterly account valuations, a monthly investment outlook and periodic market commentaries.

What distinguishes KF Advisors from many peers is its role as a private fund adviser and sponsor—its affiliated funds include three pooled vehicles that pay performance‑based incentive fees to the General Partner once investors have received a return of contributed capital. The firm manages pooled vehicles directly, permits employee and related‑person co‑investments under pre‑clearance and allocation policies, and maintains a model portfolio that it uses in client communications to illustrate its core equity strategy while disclosing hypothetical performance and the procedures used to mitigate side‑by‑side conflicts.

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
