About

The Invictus Collective provides financial planning, consulting and investment management to a concentrated client base that includes high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, corporations, institutional investors, other advisers and pooled investment vehicles, and the firm also serves clients outside the U.S. in addition to domestic accounts. It offers wealth management, sub‑advisory services and the design of structured‑note sleeves for institutional clients alongside its retail and advisory engagements.

The firm constructs diversified portfolios using independent managers, ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities, structured products and private placements, with an investment process informed by Modern Portfolio Theory and ongoing monitoring by an internal Investment Committee. Services are delivered in both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements and the firm utilizes a third‑party TAMP and separate managers to implement and custody certain strategies.

What distinguishes The Invictus Collective from many peers is that it serves and sponsors private pooled investment vehicles (acting as manager/adviser to a proprietary fund) and markets institutional structured‑product strategies under a First Principle offering while also providing sub‑advisory services to other advisers. The firm also employs performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients, uses borrowing and derivatives within separately managed accounts, and manages a large share of assets on a non‑discretionary basis, resulting in relatively concentrated, bespoke client relationships.

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
