About

Mainsail Asset Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, business entities, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and pooled investment vehicles. The firm typically implements diversified portfolios for individuals using mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and alternative investments and will tailor services to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes a customized asset‑allocation framework that combines long‑term strategic allocation with short‑term tactical adjustments, regular monitoring and quarterly performance measurement, liquidity planning, and a mix of public and private asset classes (including interval and closed‑end funds). Mainsail describes an “All‑Weather” philosophy focused on diversification and risk management, and it supplements human judgment with analytics and automated tools to support monitoring and research.

Distinctively, Mainsail sponsors and provides portfolio management to affiliated privately‑offered pooled investment vehicles (the “First Avenue Vehicles”) and acts as a private fund adviser, arrangements under which related entities may receive asset management and performance‑based (incentive) compensation. These sponsor/manager activities and incentive fee arrangements — which the firm discloses in its offering documents and Form ADV and treats as non‑discretionary client investments — are notable departures from what many similar team firms offer and create conflicts of interest that the firm discloses and addresses.

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
