About
Rutherford Investment Management is an SEC-registered, fee-only advisory firm that provides discretionary portfolio management and related investment advisory services to individual clients and institutional accounts, including retirement plan investors. In addition to separately managed accounts, the firm accepts investments through pooled vehicles and serves plan fiduciaries.
The firm tailors portfolios to each client’s objectives and uses a blend of fundamental and technical analysis, employing long-term, short-term and trading strategies as appropriate; accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis with custodial trading routed through a recommended broker-dealer. For its pooled vehicle work, Rutherford manages a Multi-Cap Growth Fund that focuses primarily on U.S. equities across market capitalizations, emphasizing sectors it identifies as attractive and retaining the discretion to allocate to cash or fixed income in times of market stress.
What is distinctive about the firm is its role as Investment Manager to a collective investment trust maintained by Alta Trust — a structure intended for qualified employer-sponsored defined contribution plans — and its willingness to provide portfolio management to that pooled vehicle, an arrangement that is uncommon among peers. The firm also manages roughly $250 million in discretionary client assets with a small team of investment advisor representatives, combining individual account management with the operational and regulatory responsibilities of running a collective investment trust.

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
