About

Severin Investments serves individuals and high‑net‑worth clients as well as trusts, estates, defined contribution plans, and other financial advisers and broker‑dealers. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management via proprietary model portfolios, institutional retirement advisory, 401(k) consulting and monitoring, comprehensive and limited financial planning, estate‑planning support, and a sponsored wrap‑fee program.

Client relationships are built around an Investment Policy Statement used to match households to actively managed models; smaller accounts are typically placed in ETF‑only models while larger accounts are placed in stock‑and‑bond models, and the lineup also includes a rules‑based Relative Strength momentum model. Investment decisions combine fundamental and technical analysis, employ tactical tilts and sector rotation, and rely on ETFs for international, commodity, and fixed‑income exposure where that is more efficient.

Distinctive aspects noted in the firm’s brochure include providing sub‑advisory and model‑management services to other advisers, overlay managers, and TAMPs (including uploading and updating proprietary models), and operating a wrap‑fee program available only to the firm’s advisory clients. The firm discloses use of solicitors/referral arrangements and issues periodic performance reports and advisor‑facing materials (including separate client and advisor websites); management personnel are also licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance product sales.

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
