About

Montis Financial, LLC provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, and also advises retirement plan sponsors in an ERISA Section 3(21) capacity and, where agreed, as a Section 3(38) investment manager. The firm serves both retail clients and institutional plan engagements and offers assets‑under‑advisement services in addition to assets under management.

Montis develops tailored financial plans and implements portfolios using a broad set of instruments, including mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, REITs, allocations to unaffiliated independent managers, and private investment funds. The firm may employ specialized strategies—such as interval funds, long/short and leveraged/inverse ETFs, and options transactions (e.g., covered calls and long puts)—and discloses the liquidity, volatility and other risks those instruments entail.

Several operational practices distinguish Montis from many peers: it utilizes Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds that require adviser approval, maintains an AI policy that restricts and governs use of AI tools with human review, and treats cash positions as an asset class for portfolio management and fee‑billing purposes with explicit cash sweep handling. The firm also restricts discretionary cryptocurrency purchases (recommending exposure via exchange‑traded securities or separate managers), includes private fund valuations in reporting and fee calculations, and documents the risks and conflicts related to margin and pledged‑asset loans.

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
