About
Tadpole Investments LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and one-time financial planning to individual and high-net-worth clients, documenting objectives and risk tolerances in an Investment Policy Statement for each account. Like many independent advisers, it charges asset-based advisory fees and delivers quarterly reporting and periodic reviews.
The firm applies cyclical, fundamental and quantitative analysis and uses a range of trading strategies from long-term holdings to short-term trading, including short sales, margin and options, with discretion to implement transactions on clients’ behalf. Tadpole requires clients to custody assets at a specified broker-dealer and conducts quarterly account reviews while permitting reviews outside that cadence for material events.
A distinctive feature is that Tadpole offers performance-based fee arrangements to qualified clients, a practice that is relatively uncommon among peers and that the firm addresses with allocation controls and high-water-mark provisions. The adviser operates with a small client roster and modest assets under management, provides financial planning as a separate engagement, and discloses the potential for custodial soft-dollar research benefits.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
