About
Westwood Asset Management, LLC is a single‑advisor independent registered investment adviser that provides ongoing portfolio management to individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals. The firm prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each client and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management tailored to clients’ goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances.
The firm uses a broad set of analytical approaches — charting, fundamental, technical, cyclical, quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory — and pursues long‑term trading alongside options strategies, including covered and uncovered positions and spreads. Westwood primarily recommends ETFs to most clients but also employs equities, fixed income, non‑U.S. securities, annuities, real estate funds (including non‑traded REITs), and precious‑metal ETFs as appropriate.
Noteworthy features for a firm of this size include a small client roster (14 clients) managing roughly $12.5 million in discretionary assets, suggesting relatively larger account sizes per client, and an in‑house investment management approach rather than selecting third‑party managers. The brochure also discloses use of soft‑dollar research benefits, a recommendation of Charles Schwab as custodian, and documented personal trading policies intended to address conflicts of interest.

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
