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.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
