About
Macfarlane Investors provides investment advisory and portfolio management, financial planning, and access to alternative investments for individuals, families, and organizations. The firm states it serves a broad client mix — from lower-income investors and family trusts to business treasury accounts and high-net-worth clients — and does not impose account minimums.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes fundamental research and long-term, buy-and-hold investing, with the option to hold concentrated equity portfolios (typically 10–15 conviction positions) alongside ETFs, fixed income, and limited alternatives. Financial planning is integrated into the portfolio process (including Monte Carlo analysis), the adviser generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, and the firm may include digital assets when consistent with client objectives.
Notable operational features that distinguish the firm include a founder-led model in which the managing member prepares and conducts client reviews, a corporate ownership structure that includes a small ownership stake held by the firm’s early clients, and reliance on third-party platforms for custody and client-facing tools (including an automated custodian and planning software). The firm also documents a formal onboarding process and offers certain volunteer services (such as no-cost tax preparation by the founder to some clients), which are described as ancillary to its advisory services.

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
