About

Stapleton Asset Management is a state-registered investment adviser that serves a concentrated client base of roughly 33 accounts, including high-net-worth individuals, accredited investors, and select institutional and charitable clients. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management alongside financial planning and consulting services offered as either one-time engagements or an ongoing subscription-style program.

Investment decisions combine quantitative optimization and risk/return modeling with fundamental and cyclical analysis, implemented through model portfolios that blend active and passive funds. For appropriate clients, the firm may use derivatives (options, futures) and alternative investments—including private placements and non-public REITs—to manage risk or achieve targeted exposures, and it occasionally engages unaffiliated sub‑advisers for specialized mandates.

Compared with many small advisory firms, Stapleton maintains a relatively high advisor credential mix (CFA, CFP, FRM) and emphasizes systematic portfolio construction and tax-aware fund selection. The firm also discloses a staff outside consulting activity focused on the defined-contribution/401(k) marketplace and describes internal supervision and limits to mitigate related conflicts, and it operates exclusively with a single institutional custodian with which it receives certain institutional services.

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
