About
Sarasota Capital Strategies provides portfolio management and financial planning for individuals, trusts, corporations, foundations and estates. Services described in the brochure include active management of absolute‑return portfolios using exchange‑traded funds, no‑load mutual funds and individual equities, as well as stand‑alone written financial plans.
The firm manages discretionary accounts with internally developed models that combine fundamental and technical analysis to pursue downside protection while participating in rising markets; examples of listed strategies include diversified fixed income, dividend growth and income, and asset allocation. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced periodically, and the adviser may increase cash, employ hedges or trade more frequently in volatile markets; client‑specific models can be created on request.
A noteworthy detail in the brochure is that associated persons may also be licensed insurance agents and, on occasion, sell insurance products as an ancillary activity (the firm states this represents less than 1% of business operating time and that such associates may receive compensation). The brochure also discloses the firm’s state registration, custodial preferences, a formal code of ethics, and that it does not accept performance‑based fee arrangements.

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.
