About
Wata Capital is a small registered investment adviser that manages about $8.4 million in discretionary assets for roughly two dozen clients, including individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, nonprofit organizations, and business entities. The firm provides discretionary investment management across equities, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income and alternative strategies, and also offers standalone financial planning and consulting engagements.
The firm follows a value‑oriented, concentrated equity approach, seeking companies believed to be trading below intrinsic value and favoring a focused portfolio of high‑conviction positions; it may also use protective put options as a risk‑management tool. Wata Capital generally exercises full discretionary authority over client accounts and charges asset‑based advisory fees while providing written or verbal financial planning recommendations as separate services.
What distinguishes Wata Capital relative to many peers is its willingness, for qualified clients, to enter into performance‑based compensation arrangements that include a loss carry‑forward (high‑water mark) mechanism and a defined look‑back period — a structure that is uncommon among independent advisers. The firm’s small scale, concentrated discretionary strategy, and the principal’s CFA and CFP credentials are additional features that set it apart from larger, more diversified independent practices.

Forms ADV
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.
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
