About

Trinity Capital Management provides comprehensive wealth management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth households), families, retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses, combining discretionary investment management with ongoing Advanced Planning services. The firm emphasizes a tailored onboarding process using client interviews and risk‑tolerance testing to build individualized investment plans and monitor accounts.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and multi‑factor academic research, favoring broad global diversification and targeted exposures to risk‑premium factors such as small‑cap, value, and profitability. Portfolios are typically implemented with institutional‑grade, no‑load mutual funds and ETFs; TCM is an approved advisor for Dimensional Fund Advisors, enabling use of DFA institutional share classes and access to DFA training and resources.

Distinctive features include a formal Advanced Planning framework that explicitly addresses wealth enhancement, protection, mobilization (including structured charitable giving), and transfer, with coordination alongside clients’ CPAs and attorneys. On the operational side, the firm operates with an institutional custodian relationship and uses prime‑brokerage arrangements when necessary to access fixed‑income markets, and it manages nearly all of its assets on a discretionary basis.

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
