About
Masterson Investment Counsel provides discretionary portfolio management and retirement-plan advisory services to both individual and institutional clients, preparing customized Investment Policy Statements and overseeing portfolios on a continuous basis. The firm also offers ERISA 3(21) plan services and can incorporate ESG, faith-based, or values-based guidelines into clients' IPSs.
The firm employs a value-oriented, fundamental research process that estimates intrinsic value (including discounted cash flow and other valuation metrics) to select securities and generally maintains multi-year investment horizons with limited turnover. Portfolio construction emphasizes diversification, target asset-allocation ranges, and ongoing monitoring to align holdings with each client's written objectives and risk tolerances.
Distinctive for a solo independent adviser, the firm manages roughly $5 million for fewer than 20 clients while serving an unusually broad set of institutional clients — including pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporate clients, banks, insurance entities, governmental clients, other investment advisers, and even sovereign wealth-type mandates. The brochure notes the firm’s principal draws on extensive prior institutional and trust-management experience and professional trust/investment credentials to support these more complex fiduciary and institutional relationships.

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
