About
Plein Air Capital Advisers provides discretionary investment management and related advisory services to a range of clients, including individuals, trusts, corporations and institutional clients. The firm conducts research, makes portfolio decisions, monitors accounts, and delivers quarterly performance reports while investing across U.S. equities, ETFs, mutual funds, fixed income and cash equivalents.
The firm’s investment approach is fundamentally driven, long‑term and value‑oriented, favoring a buy‑and‑hold discipline and selecting companies trading below Plein Air’s view of intrinsic value. Portfolios are typically concentrated—generally about 15–20 stocks—with an ordinary limit of roughly 10% initial exposure to any one security, while the manager may also pursue deep‑value or select growth opportunities and hold cash while awaiting investment opportunities.
Distinctive operational features include that the founder and president serves as both chief investment officer and chief compliance officer and devotes full business time to client service, centralizing investment and compliance oversight. Plein Air is a fee‑only adviser that generally applies a $1,000,000 account minimum (waivable) and maintains an institutional custodial relationship that provides trading, research and technology services which can affect execution and available resources.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
