About

Summitry serves individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and — less commonly for firms of this size — investment companies and other investment advisers. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (including standalone plans), model equity strategies, third‑party manager selection, and acts as the adviser to a registered mutual fund (GGEFX).

Investment decisions are research‑driven and largely bottom‑up: a Research team conducts valuation and financial analysis and an Investment Committee reviews and approves securities for the firm’s internally managed “Core” strategies. Those Core allocations are combined with an “Explore” sleeve of Independent Managers and alternative approaches — including a tax‑smart 130/30 long/short strategy used to transition concentrated, low‑basis positions — with ongoing monitoring of manager performance.

Distinctive features include treating its mutual fund as it would an advisory client, providing its equity model to third‑party platforms and SMA relationships with other advisers, and being owned by a holding company (Aspen Standard Group) that places the firm within a broader adviser group. Summitry predominantly charges asset‑based fees rather than fixed management fees and offers an uncommon estate‑planning referral arrangement under which the firm may pay some clients’ legal fees for document preparation.

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
