About

Pactolus provides fee‑based, family office and wealth management services to high‑net‑worth families, related trusts, charitable entities, corporations, and other business entities. Offerings include individualized investment advisory and portfolio management, financial and estate planning, tax‑aware investment advice, family office and concierge services, real estate consulting, and structured loan diligence.

The firm typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis, uses quantitative and third‑party research tools and sub‑advisers where appropriate, and offers a bundled wrap‑fee program that combines advisory services with trade execution. Pactolus also serves as manager to private funds and may place clients into pooled investment vehicles or separately managed accounts as part of broader wealth‑planning solutions.

Pactolus differs from many peer team firms in several uncommon ways: it is affiliated with a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer (Pactolus Capital Partners) whose representatives may solicit private investments and receive commissions, monitoring or due diligence fees; the firm sponsors and manages proprietary feeder/private funds and may earn asset‑based and performance‑based fees and act as general partner for pooled vehicles. The firm’s focus on ultra/high‑net‑worth and family office clients (rather than retail, non‑HNW individuals) and its involvement in private fund sponsorship, commissionable private investment sales, and wrap program sponsorship are highlighted in its disclosures and noted as potential sources of conflicts of interest.

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
