About
Paragon Asset Management provides discretionary asset management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), businesses, corporations and charities, managing approximately $115.9 million across about 60 client accounts as of December 31, 2025. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees and generally requires a $250,000 account minimum, though it retains discretion to lower or waive that minimum.
Investment programs are tailored to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, with portfolio construction informed by fundamental and technical analysis and a focus on open‑end mutual funds and ETFs. The brochure discloses the firm may use higher‑risk trading techniques and instruments (including options, margin, short sales and derivatives) and aggregates ETF trades across client and personal accounts.
Distinctive operational features include a long track record (founded in 1992) and a single‑advisor structure, a requirement that clients use a specified broker‑dealer, no participation in wrap fee programs, and an absence of performance‑based fees. The firm does not vote proxies on clients’ behalf (clients receive proxy materials directly), and its principal maintains an external consulting practice occupying roughly 10% of their time, a relationship disclosed and described as mitigated by firm procedures.

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
