About
Triad serves individual investors — including high-net-worth clients — and also provides discretionary investment management to foundations and businesses. The firm offers portfolio management, limited financial planning, and participant account management for held-away retirement plans, generally charging percentage-of-assets-under-management fees.
The investment process centers on fundamental security analysis and concentrated equity portfolios (generally 20–30 positions) aimed at long-term capital growth, with an acknowledged willingness to hold cash when attractive opportunities are scarce. Triad also uses a third-party platform to facilitate discretionary management and rebalancing of held-away participant accounts, monitoring those investments separately from custody relationships.
Distinctive features include a small two-advisor team (both advisors hold the CFA designation) managing roughly $120 million across about 40 client relationships and typically applying a $1 million relationship minimum. The firm uses a mix of less-common instruments for its size — including closed-end funds, business development companies, REITs, and ADRs — generally custodizes client assets at a major institutional provider while executing certain fixed-income trades off-platform when it seeks better execution, and pays for the third-party held-away platform rather than billing clients an additional platform fee.

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
