About

Orca Investment Management provides discretionary portfolio management and related advisory services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, businesses, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm manages about $212 million for roughly 359 client accounts and delivers tailored strategies that range from conservative capital preservation to equity‑centric growth approaches.

Orca employs a mix of fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and uses diversification, allocation and periodic rebalancing to implement strategies such as capital appreciation, dividend income, fixed‑income preservation, balanced portfolios and a mutual fund strategy for smaller accounts. The firm typically charges negotiable asset‑based fees and structures portfolios for mostly long‑term holdings while retaining the ability to trade tactically when fundamentals or price targets change.

What distinguishes Orca from many peers is its corporate ownership and related affiliations: Orca became a wholly owned subsidiary of Paulson Capital Holding Company effective January 1, 2024, and Paulson also owns Paulson Investment Company, LLC (a registered broker‑dealer) and Paulson General Insurance Services, LLC (an insurance agency), creating referral and affiliation relationships disclosed in the brochure. The firm also traces its advisory heritage to prior acquisitions of KLD Investment Management (acquired 2009) and Bane Barham & Holloway Assets Management (acquired 2013), and it discloses participation in institutional custody programs and informal soft‑dollar arrangements that can result in receipt of broker‑provided research and services.

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
