About

Steel Grove Capital Advisors provides wealth management, investment management, financial planning, and consulting to affluent individuals and families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and business entities. The firm manages approximately $1.64 billion in client assets and serves several hundred client relationships through discretionary and non-discretionary account arrangements.

The firm’s investment process is personalized, beginning with a Financial Profile and Investment Plan and relying on diversified portfolios built from mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, options, third‑party managers and private placements. Steel Grove uses internal due diligence, statistical analysis and proprietary liability‑planning tools to set asset allocation and periodically rebalances portfolios with a primarily long‑term focus while permitting shorter‑term trades when needed.

Steel Grove is notable among peer team firms for its role as sponsor and affiliate to pooled investment vehicles — including a real estate fund and the Worthington Convergence funds — and for its formal affiliations with other investment advisers, which the brochure discloses as potential conflicts and addresses by foregoing its advisory fee on assets placed in those funds. The firm also discloses they may negotiate performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients and that their strategies can include options, margin borrowing and alternative/hedge fund investments, along with third‑party referral and administrative arrangements with affiliated managers.

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
