Robert W. Colby Asset Management, Inc.
Data sourced from SEC public records (and other sources when available). Refreshed weekly • Updated today.
About
The firm provides discretionary portfolio management primarily for individual and high net worth clients, operating multiple actively managed portfolios and allocations across equity, fixed-income and algorithmic strategies. It also produces weekly market publications that include market analysis and stock/ETF rankings.
The firm’s investment approach relies on proprietary quantitative and technical methods, including a Relative Strength ranking system and a Systematic Trend Identification System, with an emphasis on ETF exposure and periodic rebalancing to control risk. Portfolios are managed with a long-term orientation but may employ dynamic allocation shifts to move between growth and defensive positions; certain programs may use margin, leveraged ETFs, shorting, or derivatives where the program permits.
Compared with many peers, the firm runs a notably broad set of specialized, algorithm-driven programs—including volatility/leveraged strategies and a NASDAQ-100 momentum portfolio—that require specific account features such as margin or extended-hours trading. The firm also posts monthly performance updates on its website and issues regular weekly publications, practices that are less common among similarly supported firms.

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
