About

Oakbourne Advisors provides investment advisory services and related financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth households, retirement plans, trusts, and business clients. The firm manages discretionary portfolios—typically built from mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, preferred stocks and cash—and also offers stand‑alone financial planning and retirement plan consulting; it may allocate portions of client assets to third‑party TAMPs.

The firm begins client relationships by developing a Private Client Profile to document objectives, risk tolerance and other circumstances, then implements and monitors portfolios on a discretionary basis while seeking client trade confirmations as a courtesy. Oakbourne’s investment process incorporates fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and uses both long‑ and short‑term trading approaches, with reviews conducted at least semi‑annually and trades aggregated when appropriate.

Compared with many peer teams, Oakbourne maintains a multi‑office platform of five offices, a configuration that is uncommon for firms with a similar number of advisors. Some supervised persons also hold outside registrations as broker‑dealer representatives and licensed insurance agents and may offer commission‑based products separately, and the firm generally directs clients to specific custodians (with the option to use block trading and TAMP managers).

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
