About

MacLean Capital Advisors manages roughly $222 million for about 150 clients and serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension/profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, individualized financial planning, and retirement plan consulting, generally billing on an asset‑based fee schedule common among similar advisers.

The firm constructs an Investment Policy Statement for each client and uses a mix of fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis to guide portfolio construction and monitoring. Its active toolkit includes long‑ and short‑term trading, options strategies and the use of margin/borrowing in separately managed accounts — a practice that is uncommon among peers.

Noteworthy operational features include the advisers’ dual roles in broker/dealer and insurance capacities, which can result in acceptance of commissions or insurance compensation alongside advisory fees, and a practice of directing clients to the firm’s recommended custodian for account execution and fee debiting. The firm also imposes a typical account minimum of $500,000 (subject to waiver) and provides both one‑time financial plans and ongoing advisory relationships.

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.
