About
Refresh Investments serves individuals, family trusts, foundations, charities, and corporate sponsors with discretionary investment management and financial planning. Like many supported firms, it provides ongoing portfolio management and charges percentage-of-AUM advisory fees while also offering employee benefit plan advisory and limited hourly consulting.
The firm builds custom investment policies using asset allocation and fundamental analysis and implements portfolios through direct management, sub-advisors, and separately managed accounts (SMAs). It also advises on held-away accounts and uses a third-party order management platform to coordinate employer‑sponsored retirement accounts without taking custody of those assets.
Refresh Investments is notable for a small advisory team managing a concentrated client base with relatively large account sizes and for a principal with multi‑decade institutional experience and professional credentials (CFA, CPA, MBA). The firm documents and mitigates operational risks tied to third‑party data aggregators, conducts due diligence on sub‑advisors, and offers formal fixed‑fee financial planning that can be integrated with investment services for larger households.

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
