About

Marathon Capital Management is a discretionary investment adviser that provides portfolio management and financial planning to high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations; the firm manages roughly $790 million for about 281 clients and generally requires a $500,000 minimum (waivers permitted). Financial planning using MoneyGuidePro is provided as part of the client relationship at no separate charge, and the firm does not target non‑high‑net‑worth retail investors.

The firm follows a long‑term growth‑at‑a‑reasonable‑price (GARP) philosophy and generally employs a buy‑and‑hold approach, managing accounts individually on a discretionary basis. Marathon focuses on individual securities over multi‑year horizons, conducts regular account and portfolio monitoring, and will use third‑party money managers for certain legacy or very large accounts.

Notably, Marathon sponsors a private microcap fund through an affiliated exempt reporting adviser and general partner, a structure that the firm discloses and seeks to mitigate by generally restricting microcap investments in client accounts. The combination of fund sponsorship, affiliations with other advisers, and periodic use of outside managers creates allocation and conflict‑management procedures (including a Code of Ethics and pro rata allocation policies) that distinguish its operational profile from many peers.

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
