About
The Raffin Group is an independent advisory firm that provides tailored portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations, and charitable organizations. It offers ongoing discretionary portfolio management and standalone financial planning engagements, and it also sponsors a separate wrap‑fee program (referenced in its brochure).
The firm builds client programs using model allocations and investment policy statements, favoring low‑cost, diversified ETFs and mutual funds and using separately managed accounts for fixed‑income exposure when appropriate. Its methods include fundamental, quantitative, technical and modern‑portfolio approaches, and it discloses use of more active strategies such as margin/borrowing, options and short sales while conducting monthly account reviews.
Notable distinctions from many solo independent advisers include its role as a wrap‑fee program sponsor, its explicit service to corporate/business clients in addition to individuals, and an affiliation with insurance activities in which firm personnel may receive insurance compensation (a disclosed conflict of interest). The firm also requires clients to custody assets with specified custodians (Schwab Institutional or Interactive Brokers) and includes financial planning for portfolio clients without a separate planning fee.

Forms ADV
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.
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
