About
Martin Nelson & Co., Inc. provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and businesses. The firm’s client base is primarily individual (non‑high‑net‑worth) investors, it manages client assets held at Hilltop Securities and Charles Schwab, and does not impose a firmwide account minimum.
Advisors tailor investment programs to each client’s financial profile and risk tolerance using a mix of charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis to support long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies. The firm implements margin and option strategies (including option writing) within separately managed accounts and charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees billed quarterly.
Martin Nelson is dually registered as a broker‑dealer and an SEC‑registered investment adviser and discloses affiliated broker/dealer activity and directed brokerage arrangements, along with internal controls intended to address resulting conflicts of interest (for example, generally prohibiting the receipt of both commissions and advisory fees on the same managed account). The firm traces its history to 1954, has been an RIA since 2013, and disclosed participation in the SEC’s MCDC municipal disclosure initiative, resulting in a $100,000 civil penalty and related undertakings.

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
