About
Starbord LLC provides investment management, model-portfolio implementation, and investment research to individuals, trusts, pension accounts, and other advisory firms, and also offers financial planning, budget coaching, seminars, and periodic newsletters. The firm supplements portfolio services with insurance-related advice and sells research and consulting to outside institutional and advisor clients.
The firm generally manages client assets on a non-discretionary basis and conducts ongoing monitoring with monthly reviews, contacting clients for consent before implementing trades. Its investment approach emphasizes value-oriented and model-driven portfolios, combining strategic and tactical asset allocation with the selective use of options and other instruments in certain accounts and relying on third‑party research inputs for portfolio construction.
Distinctive features relative to many peers include the combination of primarily non‑discretionary management with paid subscription content and occasional seminars, the provision of investment research to other advisors, and the principal’s involvement in insurance and seasonal tax/bookkeeping activities. The firm is small and principal-led, has no stated account minimum, and discloses that these structural characteristics may affect capacity and oversight.

Forms ADV
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
