About

The Bedminster Group advises individuals (including high-net-worth clients) as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporate entities. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, general financial consulting, and retirement-plan consulting services, and can serve as an ERISA investment fiduciary when engaged by trustee-directed plans.

TBG tailors investment advice and asset-allocation strategies to clients’ stated objectives, with ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing. Its investment process draws on a mix of methods — including fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting analysis — and can incorporate short-term trading, option strategies, and margin where appropriate or requested by clients.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its explicit retirement-plan capabilities (including acting as an ERISA 3(21)/3(38) investment manager and providing participant education and platform assistance) and its willingness to advise on a broad range of instruments, such as private equity, real-estate partnership interests, and return-enhanced notes. The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as a deliberate component of client allocations for defensive and liquidity purposes, and it generally leaves proxy voting to clients rather than voting on their behalf.

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.

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
