About
Trillium Investments provides discretionary portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, with a typical account guideline of $500,000 (subject to manager discretion). As of year‑end reporting, the firm managed roughly $122.6 million across about 58 client relationships and delivers retirement, estate, and tax planning as part of its advisory offering.
The firm’s investment process combines macroeconomic analysis with value‑oriented security selection and an emphasis on tax efficiency and strict risk management, including a sell discipline and diversification of equities by purpose and income positions by type. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis with ongoing monitoring, consideration of tax consequences before transactions, and the availability of margin trading for certain clients when appropriate.
Compared with many peers of similar scale, Trillium underwent a firm reorganization and name change in 2021–22 and transitioned from state to SEC registration in 2024, changes that reflect recent structural shifts. The firm also offers advice on alternative investments (private placements, real estate, tax‑free exchanges) upon request, routinely uses block trades to ensure consistent pricing across accounts, and generally leaves proxy voting to clients except in limited situations.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
