About
Romain Walsh Clerou Professional Investment Management provides discretionary investment supervisory and management services to individuals, retirement plans and trusts, overseeing $218,943,043 for 42 clients as of December 31, 2025. The firm constructs tailored portfolios of individual stocks, bonds and cash equivalents and delivers quarterly portfolio reports along with periodic meetings to review objectives and performance.
The firm's investment approach is grounded in fundamental analysis of company financial statements and typically holds concentrated portfolios of 15–25 stocks and 10–30 bonds with an expected holding period of at least two years, adjusting cash allocations based on perceived market valuation. RWC generally avoids purchasing equity or bond mutual funds for new investments, favors direct security selection over high‑frequency trading, and conducts frequent account reviews (often daily or weekly).
RWC operates as a sole proprietorship run by a single owner with more than 35 years of experience, a combination that is uncommon for a firm managing over $200 million with a small client base and a $1 million account minimum. The adviser commonly invests personally in many of the same securities held for clients and aggregates trade executions (allocating average prices), does not vote client proxies or prepare class‑action claims, and maintains custody and trade execution through a long‑standing relationship with Charles Schwab.

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 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
