About

Paradiem serves individuals, high-net-worth families, and charitable organizations with a mix of asset management, comprehensive financial planning, and insurance services. The firm offers ongoing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management alongside its Family Capital Architecture planning work, which coordinates tax, estate, and charitable giving considerations for households.

The firm’s investment process is primarily long‑term and grounded in fundamental analysis, building customized portfolios of individual equities, ETFs, mutual funds and fixed‑income securities; it may recommend Class F‑2 share mutual funds for certain clients. Paradiem positions itself as a coordinating “family CFO,” facilitating advisor collaboration, annual reviews and implementation of values‑based giving and succession strategies through structured planning engagements and ongoing monitoring.

Noteworthy aspects of Paradiem include its sponsorship of a wrap fee program that bundles transaction costs into its advisory fee and institutional custody relationships (including Charles Schwab and Mutual Securities) that provide technology and other economic benefits to the adviser. The firm is affiliated with ImpactKingdom Group and may recommend or manage investments in affiliated private funds, and reports roughly $483 million in regulatory AUM alongside about $1.395 billion in assets under advisement, indicating a significant consulting/AUA practice in addition to managed assets.

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
