About

One Oak provides outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) and customized investment advisory services primarily to institutional clients such as endowments, foundations, family offices, and other institutional entities, and also offers portfolio management, financial consulting, manager selection, risk management, and access to alternative investments. The firm reports a relatively small client roster and a high account threshold (a stated $10 million opening balance, waivable), reflecting a low client-to-advisor ratio and a focus on larger or institutional mandates.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes an integrated OCIO model: developing investment policy and asset allocation, selecting and monitoring managers, conducting ongoing due diligence, and providing governance, compliance, and performance reporting. One Oak implements a range of analytical techniques (including fundamental, quantitative, technical, charting, and cyclical methods), may engage sub‑advisers for specialized strategies, and offers discretionary and non‑discretionary management alongside periodic client education and quarterly reviews.

Noteworthy distinctions include One Oak’s role as investment adviser to and controller of an affiliated private investment vehicle (OneWell LMM PE Fund I, LP and its GP), a recently launched fund the firm may recommend to qualified clients while disclosing related conflicts and differing fee arrangements for non‑advisory investors. The brochure also discloses that a firm representative holds outside broker‑dealer registration and that the firm compensates solicitors for client referrals, items the firm identifies as potential conflicts it seeks to manage, and that it occasionally hosts no‑charge educational seminars for current clients.

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
