About
SyntheticFi provides investment advisory and sub-advisory services to other registered investment advisers, as well as discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to individuals, corporations, and small businesses. The firm’s primary offering is portfolio management that implements a box spread option strategy as an alternative to margin loans and securities‑based lines of credit.
The firm’s investment process is driven by proprietary software and automated monitoring: clients and third‑party advisers can select box sizes and expirations through the platform, exit or re-create positions, and receive ongoing performance reporting and margin‑monitoring information. SyntheticFi also recommends and implements custom hedging strategies using exchange‑traded S&P 500 index options and FLEX options (puts, calls, collars) to manage margin‑call risk and may trade options on a discretionary basis.
Distinctive features include the firm’s explicit use of option derivatives (including FLEX options) within client accounts and its methodology for calculating assets under management for fee purposes as the absolute value of a box spread’s value‑at‑expiration. The firm operates with a relatively small advisory team while managing substantial regulatory AUM, provides sub‑advisory arrangements with other advisers, and discloses promoter/referral arrangements and technology‑related risks associated with its algorithmic platform.

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
