About

Verus Capital Partners is a fee-based investment advisory firm that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, pension plans and estates. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, 401(k)/pension consulting, ongoing consultations, and access to third‑party and wrap-fee programs.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis to build customized portfolios, uses tactical adjustments and selective hedging (including options and inverse ETFs), and tailors allocations to each client’s time horizon, risk tolerance and tax considerations. Verus monitors accounts on an ongoing basis and uses multiple institutional custodial and wrap platforms (including several LPL-sponsored programs) to implement strategies and reporting.

Compared with many multi-team firms, Verus’s structure includes notable operational affiliates and communications: it operates a proprietary reporting/billing software affiliate (Citius AdvisorSolutions) and an affiliated estate-document guidance service (Arizona Trust and Will), and it prepares periodic client reports and educational materials. The firm also has material relationships with LPL (including numerous dually registered representatives and program-based custody), and recent regulatory actions (an SEC order and a Massachusetts settlement disclosed in the brochure) that prospective clients may consider when evaluating conflicts of interest and oversight.

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
