About

Terril & Company is an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages approximately $988 million on a discretionary basis for individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates and other entities. The firm provides portfolio management and occasional consulting on an hourly basis, but does not offer standalone financial planning services.

Terril’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and a long-term holding horizon—often three years or more—while seeking undervalued assets or catalysts for change; it also operates two quantitative asset-selection models intended for lower-volatility and more aggressive mandates. Portfolios are typically more concentrated than many peers, and Terril may employ derivative instruments such as futures in separately managed accounts as part of its risk and return management.

Distinctive elements in the brochure include authority to cross-trade fixed income between client accounts, use of block trades and individualized allocation procedures, and the firm’s ability to invest in a wide range of instruments beyond common equity and bonds (including private equity, real estate and interests in art or collectibles). Taken together, these practices reflect a high‑discretion, concentrated approach with occasional use of derivatives and nontraditional investments that differentiates Terril from many team-based advisory firms.

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
