About

Ocean Path Advisors provides ongoing portfolio management services and prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each client that documents goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. The firm lists individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, charitable organizations and business entities as clients and may request discretionary authority to select securities and execute transactions.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in modern portfolio theory and emphasizes broadly diversified, low‑cost indexed investments across mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income and non‑U.S. securities, while also employing long‑term trading. Ocean Path discloses use of margin and options strategies, conducts quarterly account reviews, and states a fiduciary duty to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among clients.

Distinctive features include a formal process for selecting and referring clients to third‑party advisers—after due diligence—and an explicit disclosure that clients will pay Ocean Path’s standard fee in addition to any third‑party manager fees, which is an uncommon arrangement among peers. The brochure also notes that the firm does not aggregate (block) trades for multiple clients and reported zero assets under management as of the most recent calculation, items prospective clients may consider regarding execution, scale and operational experience.

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

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
