About
Shearwater Capital provides investment management, comprehensive financial planning, and supervisory services primarily for individuals, families, high net worth clients, qualified retirement plans, and trusts; the firm manages roughly $427 million for about 180 clients and operates with a small advisory team. Services include portfolio construction, ongoing account supervision, and coordination with sub-advisors for separately managed accounts.
The firm follows a scientific, long-term investment approach emphasizing broad global diversification, tax efficiency, and low-cost passive exposure, relying heavily on mutual funds and ETFs — notably Dimensional funds that the brochure describes as generally available only through approved advisors — and prepares a tailored Investment Policy Statement for each client that is reviewed at least annually. Most client accounts (about 99.7% of AUM) are managed on a discretionary basis in line with the IPS, with customization available where tax sensitivity or client preferences require it.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include the use of customized separately managed accounts with independent sub‑advisors for tax-loss harvesting or charitable gifting and the firm’s willingness to establish margin accounts at a client’s request (while generally advising against margin loans). Shearwater also communicates with clients through periodic client communications and offers educational seminars and workshops, practices that the firm highlights alongside its fee-only, non-commission model and household-based fee treatment.

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
