Arrington, TN Office

Weatherhelm provides fee‑only investment advisory and consulting services primarily to individual clients (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), as well as retirement plans and other entities. Its offerings include discretionary portfolio management, alternative‑asset consulting on hedge funds and private placements, limited‑scope ERISA 3(21) fiduciary support for retirement plans, and general financial consulting.

The firm follows a cash‑flow‑based planning process and typically memorializes objectives in an Investment Policy Statement before constructing portfolios “baked from scratch,” using single‑issue equity and fixed‑income positions alongside model allocations. Risk management combines position‑sizing conventions such as an Anti‑Martingale approach and dynamic rebalancing with selective use of options, complex/leveraged ETFs, futures, currency tools and other derivatives, and it conducts alternative‑investment due diligence for accredited/qualified investors.

Distinctive features include an affiliation with an introducing broker/futures execution business that provides futures execution infrastructure while operating independently to limit conflicts, and the availability of optional performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients. The firm also manages separately managed accounts that may employ borrowing (margin) and derivatives—practices that are relatively uncommon among similar supported firms—while offering retirement‑plan consulting and alternative‑asset monitoring.
