About
New England Research & Management provides discretionary investment management principally to high‑net‑worth individuals and families, handling revocable and irrevocable trusts, retirement and pension accounts, custodial accounts, foundations, and estates. The firm reports roughly $337 million in assets under management across 149 client accounts and typically requires a $500,000 minimum to open an advisory relationship, with exceptions made at the firm’s discretion.
NERM customizes portfolios to individual client objectives and manages each account separately rather than as a pooled vehicle, employing a mix of exchange‑listed securities, ETFs, mutual funds, corporate and government debt, foreign issuers, warrants and related instruments. The firm exercises full discretionary authority over trading and may use short‑term trading strategies in volatile markets when it deems appropriate.
Compared with many peers, NERM discloses the use of margin borrowings and derivatives (including options and exposures tied to cryptocurrency ETFs) within separately managed accounts, and it explicitly describes the attendant risks such as margin calls and derivative volatility. The firm also offers additive client services such as an annual tax return summary for taxable accounts and leaves proxy voting with clients rather than accepting proxy‑voting responsibility.

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
