About
Powell Investment Advisors, LLC provides fee‑only, discretionary portfolio management primarily to high‑net‑worth individuals and to qualified investors in pooled vehicles. Its services include individualized investment management across equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and alternative strategies, and the firm also sponsors and manages private pooled investment vehicles.
The firm builds asset allocation plans after client intake questionnaires and risk‑tolerance assessment, applying a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and elements of modern portfolio theory to guide discretionary trading. Powell may recommend or use alternative strategies — including leveraged index funds, derivatives, hedge funds and other private offerings — and incorporates tax considerations into portfolio construction and ongoing management.
Noteworthy for a team firm, Powell acts as the investment manager and sponsor for private pooled vehicles (including a closed‑end fund partnership and a series LLC structure) and accepts performance‑based compensation for those pooled investments, arrangements the brochure says are addressed through disclosure and specific custody and audit safeguards. The firm also manages a relatively large asset base for a small advisory team and does not focus on lower‑balance individual clients, signaling a concentration on larger or qualified investors.

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
