About

Southeast Asset Advisors provides wealth management, portfolio management and consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), family offices, endowments, foundations and corporate and public pension plans. The firm offers both discretionary portfolio management and non‑discretionary consulting, including retirement‑plan advisory and ERISA fiduciary services for plan sponsors.

Investment implementation typically uses mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, ETFs, Separate Account Managers and, when appropriate, private investment funds or partnerships, with portfolios tailored by asset allocation and reviewed quarterly. The firm also selects and monitors SAMs and alternative managers, provides model portfolios for retirement plans, and reports private fund positions to clients on a periodic basis.

SAA is distinctive for its direct involvement with pooled investment vehicles and private funds: it is the majority owner of Conifer Advisors (the manager of the Conifer Funds, which pay both asset‑based and performance‑based fees) and serves as manager of several other private funds (for example, SEA‑HCI SPV, SAA‑Tiger 14 LLC, SAA‑Tiger 15 LLC and Teton Pines Capital LLC). That private‑fund adviser role, the use of performance‑based fee arrangements, its portfolio management for pooled vehicles, and its institutional work with public pension/municipal clients — combined with managing over $4.19 billion in AUM with a relatively small advisor team — set it apart from many multi‑team peers.

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
