About
Patten and Patten provides discretionary investment management to individuals, families, retirement plans, trusts, family partnerships, endowments, foundations, and other institutional accounts, and it also accepts limited non‑discretionary mandates. The firm reports about $2.21 billion in regulatory assets under management across roughly 841 client relationships and offers limited ancillary consultations while generally not providing comprehensive legal, tax, or financial planning services.
The firm follows an active, top‑down/bottom‑up investment process focused on core large‑ and mid‑cap equities and investment‑grade fixed income, typically holding 30–40 distinct equity positions to avoid concentration. Patten and Patten emphasizes long‑term, valuation‑driven decisions with low relative turnover, uses ETFs and liquid‑alternative funds only modestly (generally 5–10% when appropriate), and employs options strategies primarily for hedging.
Distinctive features include an unusually high client load per advisor—three portfolio managers oversee a large number of accounts—which is uncommon among similarly sized multi‑team firms and may affect how services are delivered. The firm also serves state and municipal government clients and relies on institutional custodians and third‑party technology and service providers (such as Orion and external proxy and claims administrators) to support reporting and operational scalability.

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
