About

Margo Park Financial provides portfolio management and financial planning to individual clients — including high‑net‑worth individuals — as well as trusts and businesses. The firm typically charges percentage‑of‑assets fees for ongoing portfolio management and maintains a stated account minimum of $500,000, though that minimum may be lowered or waived.

The firm builds a written Investment Policy Statement for each client and relies on modern portfolio theory and quantitative analysis to construct model portfolios, employing both long‑ and short‑term trading when appropriate. Its investment recommendations span mutual funds, equities, fixed income, ETFs (including precious‑metal ETFs), real estate funds, non‑U.S. securities and insurance products, and it manages accounts on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases.

What distinguishes the firm from many of its peers is that a firm principal is a licensed insurance agent and offers commissionable insurance and annuity products as part of its holistic planning, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also manages client assets in‑house without selecting third‑party sub‑advisers, uses the Betterment Advisor Solutions platform (receiving related non‑economic support services), and discloses a capped financial planning fee with a satisfaction guarantee.

Discover

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

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.
