About

Tilia Fiduciary Partners works with individuals, trusts, estates, pooled investment vehicles, and retirement/pension plans, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, standalone financial planning, and pension consulting. The firm begins client relationships by developing a Financial Profile and an Investment Plan to guide ongoing advice and implementation.

Investment decisions are made by an investment committee that meets bi‑weekly and the firm generally implements client plans through a core buy‑and‑hold allocation to ETFs, individual stocks, mutual funds, and bonds while permitting limited tactical trades, basic hedges, and use of options and other derivatives where appropriate. Tilia also accommodates client‑directed borrowing and margin transactions, and it may assist clients with securities‑backed lines of credit; margin balances and assets purchased on margin are included in assets under management and are documented as client‑directed.

What is distinctive about Tilia relative to many peers is its explicit use of borrowing in separately managed accounts and its disclosure that margin and margin‑related products can be part of managed portfolios—practices the firm says it discourages but will implement with client authorization. The firm has also recently clarified operational controls around limited artificial‑intelligence tools (restricted to administrative tasks such as meeting transcription and summarization) and emphasizes committee‑level, human oversight of all investment recommendations.

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
