A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Ruff Choices

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Ruff Choices or one who fits your needs even better.

Ruff Choices is an independent, single-advisor registered investment adviser that serves individuals, business entities, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm manages roughly $24.25 million across about 27 client relationships and provides discretionary portfolio management plus, when requested, standalone investment consulting and limited financial planning with access to tax preparation and accounting services through an affiliated CPA/accounting firm. The adviser primarily allocates client assets among individual equities, fixed income, exchange‑traded funds and no‑load mutual funds and relies on fundamental, technical and charting analysis. Its implementation can include long‑ and short‑term trades and, notably for a solo independent adviser, the use of margin and certain options strategies in separately managed accounts while treating cash as an asset class and not maintaining an in‑house ESG program unless client‑directed. What distinguishes Ruff Choices relative to many peers is the combination of a small, solo practice advising not only individuals but also institutional and charitable clients, and an affiliation with a CPA/accounting practice that can result in additional non‑advisory service referrals. The firm’s explicit disclosure that it employs borrowing and derivative strategies in client accounts is uncommon among independent advisers, and it typically recommends a national custodian and participates in third‑party referral programs.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
