About
Trendhaven Investment Management provides discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth investors), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations, and generally markets to experienced investors who seek an absolute‑return objective. Services include strategy‑specific money management, sub‑advisory relationships with other advisors, and management of individual investment sub‑accounts within variable annuity products; limited financial planning or portfolio reviews are available on request.
The firm’s investment approach is an absolute‑return, trend‑following model that relies on licensed third‑party technical analytics and back‑tested buy/sell signals to time allocations primarily between high‑yield U.S. corporate bond funds and cash or money‑market instruments. Trendhaven emphasizes tactical risk control by exiting positions on negative trend signals rather than relying principally on broad asset‑class diversification.
Distinctive elements in the brochure include the firm’s explicit use of licensed technical models described as having “successful track records,” and the application of historical model signals directly to mutual fund and ETF selection for high‑yield bond exposure. The firm also frames its objective in absolute terms (to “beat zero”) and, unlike most small independent advisors, emphasizes and makes available model and historical performance information tied to its licensed analytics.

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
