About

Thompson Capital Management provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and pension consulting primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also acts as a sub-adviser to other investment advisers. The firm manages roughly $200 million across about 80 client relationships and typically implements services through separately managed accounts and written advisory agreements.

The firm runs model-driven strategies that include equities, options, fixed income, and tactical overlays, and it may employ leverage, margin, inverse and leveraged ETFs, and other derivatives in separately managed accounts as part of its volatility and hedging approaches. Thompson Capital publicly discloses performance information, including predecessor track records, and uses quantitative and VIX-linked tools to manage risk and pursue its named strategies.

Notable distinctions include its active sub-advisory and licensing relationships with another registered adviser and employment affiliations between the firms, which create cross-firm distribution and licensing arrangements. The adviser operates with a small, concentrated portfolio management team, uses promoter referral arrangements for client introductions, and routinely employs derivatives and higher-frequency trading in ways that are atypical for many peers in its category.

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
