About
Method Finance, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm manages roughly $54.6 million for a small client base of about 56 relationships and offers both ongoing investment management and separately available comprehensive financial plans.
The firm’s investment process is time‑horizon driven and emphasizes diversified, index‑based allocations implemented mainly with ETFs and individual equities, documented in an Investment Policy Statement for each client. Method also employs tactical and value‑oriented tilts, uses short‑term trades for rebalancing and tax management, and may incorporate less common instruments such as SPAC-related fixed‑income exposures and precious‑metal ETFs when viewed as strategically appropriate.
Noteworthy differences from many peers include the firm’s solo‑practitioner structure combined with the principal’s institutional research background and CFA charter, and a practice that automatically includes financial planning for managed accounts while also offering higher‑hour, fixed‑fee planning engagements. The firm requires clients to custody managed assets on its recommended platform (Altruist/Apex), does not receive soft‑dollar benefits, and maintains written policies around fair allocation of limited investment opportunities.

Forms ADV
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
