About

Sage Rhino Capital LLC provides asset management, financial planning and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities, managing roughly $883.7 million in discretionary assets. The firm offers individualized portfolio management and may implement client strategies through third‑party sub‑advisers or separately managed accounts.

The firm’s investment process centers on understanding client objectives, ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing across a broad mix of securities, including individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and alternative investments. Sage Rhino’s brochure discloses the use of option strategies and other derivatives (for example, covered‑call and options positions) within separately managed accounts and sub‑advised strategies, an approach that is less common among comparable team‑based advisers.

In addition to investment management, the firm provides an unusually broad set of planning services—spanning investment, retirement, estate and charitable planning as well as corporate and personal tax planning, cost segregation studies, and mortgage and insurance analysis. The firm’s disclosure section also notes a prior municipal legal settlement involving its principals related to a real‑estate matter that was resolved without findings of securities‑related violations.

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.

Find your advisor

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
