About

Opal Advisors is an SEC-registered investment adviser that provides portfolio management and integrated financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. The firm offers separately managed accounts, pension and profit-sharing consulting, and acts as general partner and investment manager for a private pooled vehicle that is currently closed to new investors.

The firm delivers personalized investment management and typically includes a financial plan for managed-account clients at no additional charge, and will engage third-party managers when appropriate. Its strategies encompass public equities, ETFs, options and direct or illiquid private investments; the firm’s private fund currently holds illiquid equity and debt positions that it intends to monetize over time.

Opal is notable among similar-sized team firms for sponsoring and managing a pooled investment vehicle that pays performance-based compensation and for providing portfolio management to that pooled vehicle. Firm principals also participate in real estate and lending businesses and are licensed in real estate; the brochure discloses these activities and related potential conflicts and describes policies and disclosures intended to address time-allocation and conflict-of-interest risks.

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
