About

Penbrook provides wealth management and financial planning services to a mix of individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) and institutional clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management and ERISA 3(21) plan advisory services and typically charges percentage‑of‑assets fees for managed accounts.

Portfolios are managed primarily in individual equities with an objective of capital appreciation, and each portfolio manager maintains their own investment style informed by fundamental and qualitative analysis; the firm may also use margin and options when consistent with a client’s objectives. Penbrook also manages private pooled vehicles and provides portfolio management to those vehicles, including a private fund that focuses on small‑ and mid‑cap stocks, and may aggregate trades among client accounts and the fund when appropriate.

What distinguishes Penbrook from many peers is its role as adviser and affiliate to private funds and its activities as a fund sponsor/syndicator, which results in management personnel indirectly earning performance‑based fees; the brochure discloses the conflicts that arise and the firm’s procedures for trade allocation and disclosure. The firm also maintains affiliations with other investment advisers and with a broker‑dealer (registered representatives at Beech Hill) and uses third‑party custodial/prime broker relationships for fund operations, arrangements the firm describes as factors in its brokerage, custody and compliance practices.

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
