About
Optima Capital Management advises individuals and families — including high-net-worth clients — as well as small- and medium-sized businesses on wealth management, financial planning, and portfolio management. The firm also provides retirement plan advisory services for employers, including plan-level fiduciary work and participant education and enrollment support.
The firm follows a goals-based, process-driven approach, creating written investment policy statements and managing portfolios on a discretionary basis using institutional managers and custodial resources. Its investment toolkit spans traditional equity and fixed‑income strategies, ETFs (including buffered ETFs), quantitative and fundamental analysis, and it also offers sub‑adviser and third‑party investment strategy services to other platforms.
Optima discloses material changes and outside affiliations in its ADV and reports that a firm principal has an ongoing role with an external investment fund, a relationship the firm identifies as an affiliation. The firm also routinely offers client and prospect educational seminars and may subsidize access to a third‑party estate‑planning platform, practices it highlights alongside its retirement plan fiduciary offerings.

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
