About
Paradox Investment Partners is a single-advisor registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment management to individual and high‑net‑worth clients through separately managed accounts, managing approximately $8.1 million for a small number of clients. Client relationships are governed by written investment management agreements and periodic account reviews to align portfolios with each client’s objectives and risk tolerance.
The firm implements an actively managed Paradox Global Long‑Short strategy focused on global small‑cap equities, combining quantitative screens on quality, value, and momentum with bottom‑up fundamental research to identify long and short candidates. Portfolios employ both long and short positions and may use derivatives such as options and currency hedges to manage risk, with targeted gross and net exposure ranges and relatively small starting position sizes.
Distinctive aspects of the firm include its willingness to accept performance‑based compensation for qualified clients under arrangements that include hurdle and high‑water‑mark provisions, and its use of borrowing and derivatives within separately managed accounts—practices that are uncommon among independent advisers. As a solo practitioner with a compact client roster, the firm operates a concentrated long‑short small‑cap mandate and maintains formal compliance policies and controls intended to address conflicts from side‑by‑side management.

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
