About

A. Montag & Associates serves high‑net‑worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations and other advisers, offering discretionary portfolio management, ongoing financial planning, general consulting, and, in limited circumstances, trustee or executor services. Financial planning is routinely bundled with ongoing portfolio management for existing clients, while standalone planning and project work are available on a negotiated basis.

The firm builds individualized Investment Objectives through a structured data‑gathering process and implements those objectives with a mix of fundamental and technical equity analysis, mutual fund and ETF selection, and dedicated fixed‑income management. Portfolios are typically managed on a discretionary basis, reviewed periodically, and the firm serves as a fiduciary for retirement accounts and as a sub‑adviser to other advisory programs when engaged.

Montag is notable for operating with a relatively small advisory team relative to its asset base and for a deliberate internal structure that includes specialized roles such as a fixed‑income manager and a director of financial planning, as well as multiple credentialed investment professionals. The firm also participates in institutional custody platforms that provide research and operational support to the adviser, offers bundled planning for ongoing clients, and accepts limited, negotiated engagements such as sub‑advisory mandates and occasional trustee appointments.

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.

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
