About

Strategic Asset Management LLC provides portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, and business entities. The firm operates a ten‑advisor team and manages roughly $218 million in discretionary assets, and it offers ongoing monitoring and client reporting consistent with typical team advisory practices.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and generally emphasizes long‑term strategies while using shorter‑term tactics as market conditions warrant; SAM typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis and may engage independent third‑party money managers for some accounts. SAM uses Orion for data reconciliation and performance reporting and requires clients to custody assets at its selected custodians, with quarterly reporting and periodic account reviews.

What is distinctive about SAM relative to many peers is its multi‑office footprint — the brochure discloses five offices — and that some investment adviser representatives also act as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents. Those dual roles mean advisors may recommend and receive commissions or 12b‑1 trail fees from insurance and brokerage products and the firm also discloses affiliated tax‑service referrals and use of institutional services from its primary custodian.

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
