About
Wernau Asset Management provides fee-based discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and consulting to individuals (including high net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. The firm also offers hourly consulting and negotiated fixed‑fee planning and family office services for more complex engagements.
The firm follows a value‑oriented approach that combines fundamental, cyclical and technical analysis and allocates across mutual funds, ETFs, individual equity and fixed‑income securities to meet client objectives. For clients who authorize active strategies, Wernau implements option‑writing, short sales, margin trading and other derivatives strategies within separately managed accounts.
Noteworthy features include an affiliation with an accounting/consulting practice and the firm’s participation in private investment LLCs that include some client partners, activities more commonly associated with fund sponsors or syndicators; these arrangements are disclosed and governed by its Code of Ethics. The firm operates with a small advisory team managing roughly $203 million for about 100 clients and reports acting as trustee or having custody for select client accounts subject to independent surprise audits.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
