About

TriVant Custom Portfolio Group, LLC provides customized, discretionary investment management primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported approximately $239.4 million in assets under management across about 165 client relationships and directs client custody through a qualified custodian.

The firm follows a top‑down, style‑rotation investment approach that prioritizes asset allocation and style tilts, using a combination of quantitative models, third‑party research and internal analysis to select stocks, fixed income, ETFs and mutual funds. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis and tend to be moderately concentrated (typically 25–60 stocks per account) with explicit risk constraints such as limited foreign and sector exposure.

Distinctive features noted in the brochure include the use of standing letters of authorization (SLOAs) for certain legacy clients—arrangements that give the firm deemed custody and are addressed in its custody controls—and a stated $200,000 initial account minimum that may be waived in some cases. The firm also does not participate in wrap programs and discloses its reliance on institutional services from its custodian, which it identifies as a potential conflict of interest to be managed under its policies.

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
