About
Settlement Capital Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management to individuals, small businesses, non‑ERISA retirement accounts, and trusts, and offers rollover advice and account-level customization. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM fees for managed accounts, does not participate in wrap programs, and manages accounts on a fiduciary basis for retirement recommendations.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes dividend‑yielding equities and dollar‑cost averaging within a limited investment universe (equities, bonds, mutual funds, cash management, U.S. Treasuries, and certificates of deposit). Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly, managed primarily on a discretionary basis, and can be tailored to client‑imposed restrictions and tax considerations for taxable and IRA/trust accounts.
Distinctive features include affiliated structured‑settlement and Medicare set‑aside businesses (Settlement Professionals, Inc. and The Plaintiff’s MSA & Lien Solution, LLC) through which employees may be appointed by insurance carriers and receive commissions or other compensation for insurance, SMAPS, market‑linked CDs and related products; these relationships are disclosed and optional for clients. With roughly $88 million in AUM and a three‑adviser team operating from multiple offices, the firm combines a small advisory platform with those broader settlement and insurance service offerings, which creates identifiable conflicts that the firm says it seeks to mitigate.

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
