About
Sage Rutty & Co., Inc. serves a mix of individual and institutional clients — including pension and profit-sharing plans — through advisory, financial planning, and wrap-fee platforms. The firm reports about $3.9 billion in regulatory assets under management across 8,685 accounts and 45 advisors (roughly 190 accounts per advisor), and provides both comprehensive planning and portfolio management services common to multi-advisor firms.
The firm offers multiple program structures and custodial relationships (First Clearing, SEI and Schwab) and operates a salaried Financial Planning Department that produces fixed-fee comprehensive plans alongside advisor-led investment management. Sage Rutty manages accounts on both discretionary and non-discretionary bases, uses fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and supports qualified retirement plan work (including a QRP offering and use of a held‑away account platform).
Noteworthy distinctions in the brochure include the firm’s longstanding broker‑dealer registration and staff dual registrations, a materially large non‑discretionary asset base (approximately $1.7 billion versus about $2.2 billion discretionary), and procedures for held‑away plan management and private placement recommendations. The brochure also describes operational practices that can be atypical for peers — for example, the firm’s use of a third‑party order management tool for held‑away balances, its role in certain placement activities, and an annual surprise custody audit tied to its limited instances of “inadvertent custody.”

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
