About
SDM Investments, LLC is a fee‑based registered investment adviser that provides customized portfolio management and financial planning to individuals as well as institutional clients, including corporations, not‑for‑profit organizations, endowments, municipalities and pension funds. The firm uses percentage‑of‑assets billing for managed accounts and also offers hourly and modular financial planning engagements.
The firm’s investment work centers on a Mid Cap Value strategy informed by fundamental, valuation‑driven research and typically constructs concentrated portfolios of roughly 15–25 holdings with a multi‑year horizon; SDM states it ordinarily manages accounts under agreed parameters on a discretionary basis and conducts at least annual reviews. SDM also offers performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients tied to the Russell Mid Cap Value Index, a structure the brochure notes can increase incentives for more concentrated or active management.
Noteworthy distinctions include a disclosed regulatory matter from 2018 that was resolved by consent decree, and affiliations in which certain members act as licensed insurance agents and work with other insurance agencies — relationships the firm says are disclosed and may create conflicts when insurance products are recommended. The brochure also highlights services less common for small independents, such as serving institutional clients and providing occasional financial‑literacy or budgeting programs for adults and youth.

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
