About
NorthAvenue serves individual investors and trusts, including high‑net‑worth clients, by providing comprehensive financial planning and investment management through its Inclusive Engagements and shorter Financial Tune‑Up engagements. The firm serves as a fiduciary for retirement accounts and generally leaves implementation discretion to clients unless a discretionary mandate is granted.
The firm's investment process combines fundamental and behavioral analysis with an asset‑allocation framework derived from Modern Portfolio Theory, favoring no‑load mutual funds, index ETFs, U.S. government bonds and periodic rebalancing. NorthAvenue may engage an independent manager, Asset Dedication, to implement strategies on a discretionary basis while retaining ongoing oversight and client reporting responsibilities.
Notably, NorthAvenue operates on a fee‑only, fixed‑fee model rather than charging percentage‑of‑assets fees and advertises third‑party ratings, both practices that are uncommon among its peers. The firm’s commercial relationship with Asset Dedication includes breakpoint discounts that can influence where assets are placed, and NorthAvenue was acquired by Mercer Global Advisors in June 2026, with client assignments and a planned wind‑down of the standalone advisory business in process.

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
