About

Trek Financial serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as institutional retirement plans, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan fiduciary and non‑fiduciary services. Like many multi‑team advisors, it charges asset‑based advisory fees and offers ongoing portfolio management and planning support through a network of adviser representatives.

The firm blends strategic and tactical approaches, using forward‑looking portfolio construction and a mix of rules‑based, evidence‑based models alongside fundamental and technical analysis; it discloses the use of artificial‑intelligence tools for research, client communication drafting, and portfolio processes under written AI governance and human review. Trek offers direct indexing with tax‑loss harvesting for taxable accounts and integrates third‑party signal providers and quantitative models into its model management and monitoring framework.

What is distinctive is the breadth and specificity of its model and alternative offerings — from multiple NDR, MacroQuant, Viking, BCM and Bulwark systematic strategies to PIMCO and State Street models — plus a suite of options‑based overlays and four different concentrated‑stock hedging approaches (including “black‑swan” hedges, spreads, collars, and covered calls). The firm also provides access to alternative‑investment platforms through CAIS and iCapital, lists structured‑note and direct‑indexing capabilities, and identifies specific custodial relationships (including recommending Gemini for digital assets), while adviser representatives have discretion to negotiate or waive fees within firm parameters.

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.
