About

Serenus serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as trusts, estates and charitable organizations, providing comprehensive portfolio management, standalone financial planning and consulting, and referrals to third‑party money managers. Financial planning coverage described in the brochure includes retirement and estate planning, tax and corporate structure analysis, real estate and cost‑segregation studies, mortgage/debt and insurance analysis, and charitable and education planning.

The firm’s investment process draws on a broad mix of analysis methods — fundamental, technical, quantitative, sector and ETF analysis — and implements strategies that include diversified asset‑allocation approaches (strategic, dynamic, tactical and core‑satellite), ETFs, alternatives, options and use of margin, with periodic rebalancing and duration constraints. Portfolios are managed both directly and via sub‑advisors or third‑party managers; Serenus performs initial due diligence and ongoing monitoring of those managers and allows clients to impose reasonable investment restrictions.

What is distinctive is the scale of assets relative to team size and client count: the firm reports roughly $1.47 billion in regulatory AUM across discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts for about 141 clients, producing AUM per advisor and per client figures that are uncommon among similar team firms. The brochure and public materials also note the firm’s use of third‑party ratings in communications and emphasize institutional platform arrangements and research access through multiple custodial relationships, practices that are less typical for teams of this size.

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
