About

The firm provides discretionary investment management and financial consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, personal trusts, estates and businesses, and also offers a subscription signal service that supplies other advisers and institutions with model-generated buy/sell recommendations. Services combine ongoing portfolio oversight for client accounts with one‑off consulting engagements and a subscription licensing business that delivers actionable model output to subscribers.

Its investment process blends a thematic “Strategic Foresight” STEEP (social, technological, economic, ecological, political) framework with fundamental accounting analysis and technical sentiment indicators, and generally follows a multi‑cap GARP discipline. Portfolios are typically oriented to mid‑ to long‑term holdings but may be reallocated more frequently for rebalancing or tactical reasons, and the firm may hold a mix of individual securities, mutual funds, ETFs, closed‑end funds and options to meet client objectives.

StratFI is notable among peers for operating an explicit market‑timing and signal‑provider business — it delivers market‑direction models and actionable timing signals to other advisers and, in certain subscriber agreements, may receive fees tied to the performance of assets using those signals, a combination that is uncommon for supported firms. The brochure also discloses use of derivatives, options and inverse/leveraged ETF strategies within client accounts to implement tactical views or mitigate volatility, which distinguishes its toolkit from many similarly sized advisory firms.

StratFI

I’m Delaware’s only professional futurist and the founder of StratFI, a boutique investment advisory firm built around a simple question: “What happens next?” Before launching StratFI, I served as lead portfolio manager for a multi-family office working with inherited wealth families. At the start of my career, I worked as a financial planner for what is now Ameriprise. Today, StratFI provides active investment management for active people — particularly professionals and retirees focused on building, preserving, and navigating long-term wealth. I work with a limited number of clients to maintain meaningful relationships and deliver a highly personalized experience. Clients receive direct access to their portfolio manager, customized investment strategies, and thoughtful guidance. All client assets are custodied with Charles Schwab. StratFI operates as a fee-only fiduciary, meaning no commissions and no conflicts of interest. To maintain a high standard of service and customization, we typically work with clients who have $500,000 or more in investable assets.

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
