About
Westside Investment Management serves a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households), pension and profit‑sharing plans, business entities, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm offers discretionary investment management, financial planning and consulting, retirement plan consulting, manager‑of‑managers solutions (including SEI-sponsored managed account and mutual fund allocation programs), and advice on private investment funds.
The firm generally implements client strategies through asset allocation models, manager selection and ongoing monitoring, using fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and periodic rebalancing; it also provides money‑manager search and monitoring via platforms such as LPL’s Manager Access Select. Westside discloses use of options, covered‑call strategies and structured notes (typically for hedging or tailored exposure), and it may employ margin or pledged‑asset loans and AI tools as part of its advisory work, with ESG considerations implemented only at a client’s direction.
Compared with many peers, the brochure notes several less common practices: potential participation in wrap‑fee programs, explicit use of derivatives and borrowing within separately managed accounts, and the purchase of structured notes — each of which the firm describes together with associated risks and conflict‑of‑interest considerations. The firm’s disclosures also document receipt of vendor support and occasional Additional Benefits to facilitate client events and participation in referral programs, and it discloses using endorsements and testimonials in its advertising.

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
