About

Value Investment Professionals, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management, financial consulting, and ERISA retirement-plan advisory services to individual and high-net-worth clients as well as pension and profit-sharing plans. The firm manages roughly $246.7 million through a four-advisor team and documents client objectives and restrictions in an Investment Policy Statement for each account.

VIP’s investment approach blends fundamental analysis with modern portfolio theory to construct IPS-driven portfolios and typically operates with discretionary trading authority. The firm employs a broad toolkit — including margin/borrowing in separately managed accounts, short sales and derivatives — and also offers performance-based fee arrangements to qualified clients while continuing to manage traditional asset-based accounts.

Distinctive features relative to peers include the firm’s use of performance-based fees (a relatively rare arrangement for similar team firms), its maintenance of five offices, and the explicit disclosure that borrowing may be used in managed accounts. The brochure also discloses affiliated bridge-loan businesses that may be recommended to accredited clients, a relationship VIP addresses through disclosure and client choice.

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
