About
Vail Ridge Capital provides investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, personal trusts, corporations and retirement plan sponsors. Services described in the brochure include portfolio management, written financial plans across retirement, education, estate, business succession and investment planning, and ERISA fiduciary services for qualified plans.
The firm implements a core–satellite portfolio approach guided by an Investment Policy Statement tailored to each client, using ETFs, mutual funds, bonds and selected individual equities. Investment decisions draw on both fundamental and technical analysis with ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing; the brochure also discloses occasional use of leveraged/inverse ETFs and exchange‑traded notes, which carry distinct risk considerations.
Noteworthy for a firm of its size, Vail Ridge explicitly supports retirement‑plan participant education and group enrollment meetings and will advise plan sponsors on QDIA selection and participant services — offerings that are less common among peers. The brochure discloses that the firm’s principal maintains professional fiduciary and wealth‑management credentials and other industry and community roles, and the firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management while billing planning services separately.

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
