About

Telos Capital Management is a SEC‑registered advisory firm managing about $1.63 billion on behalf of roughly 900 clients through a 13‑advisor team. It serves individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, small businesses, and retirement‑plan participants, offering discretionary investment management, limited‑scope financial planning, and facilitated estate‑planning document services via a third‑party platform.

The firm employs an active, research‑oriented process that combines bottom‑up fundamental security analysis with top‑down macro assessment, and emphasizes asset allocation, diversification, and periodic rebalancing across equity and fixed‑income sleeves. Telos implements this approach across multiple program structures — including ETF‑only strategies, blended fixed‑income options, and a set of separately managed portfolio programs — and allows reasonable client‑imposed restrictions within its discretionary mandates.

Distinctive operational features include a recent expansion to provide estate‑planning document facilitation to existing investment management clients through a third‑party technology partner and the management of legacy portfolios that are being transitioned into its primary managed styles. The firm also maintains separately structured “Core” portfolios composed of individual‑equity, index‑fund, and income sleeves with program‑specific operating and fee arrangements, an organizational design that differs from many multi‑team peers.

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.
