A complete list of active advisors currently associated with The Baran James Company, Inc.

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at The Baran James Company, Inc. or one who fits your needs even better.

The firm provides personalized investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. Its service mix includes comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, investment consulting for participant‑directed retirement plans, and selection and oversight of third‑party sub‑advisors. Portfolios are tailored to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance with an emphasis on long‑term, buy‑and‑hold approaches implemented through no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, U.S. government and corporate bonds, and, where appropriate, individual securities and options. The adviser uses fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis, may engage sub‑advisors for specific mandates, and reviews accounts and sub‑advisor performance at least semiannually. Noteworthy distinctions include an affiliation with the insurance business: the firm’s principal is licensed to sell life and other insurance products and may receive commissions for those sales, a potential conflict of interest the brochure discloses. The firm also provides pension‑consulting services to plan sponsors — including investment line‑up reviews and participant education — and explicitly discusses IRA rollovers and the economic incentive to recommend rollovers, features that are less common among similar independent, single‑adviser shops.

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
