About
Whelan Capital Management provides investment advisory services through both individualized discretionary accounts and the Encinal family of private funds. Its client base is concentrated in limited partnerships representing high‑net‑worth families, and the firm manages predominantly public equities while selectively allocating a small portion of eligible clients' portfolios to restricted private securities.
The firm follows a long‑biased, growth‑oriented investment process combining proprietary fundamental and technical analysis to identify small‑ and mid‑cap opportunities, with the flexibility to use long and short positions, limited leverage, strategic hedging and stop‑loss trading. WCM operates with full discretionary authority within client‑specified parameters, conducts frequent account reviews, and furnishes quarterly account reporting and custodial reconciliation.
Compared with many peers, WCM’s business mix is notable for providing direct portfolio management to high‑net‑worth limited partnerships and charging management fees based on a percentage of assets under management rather than solely fund‑level fee models. Operationally the firm relies on on‑site Level‑2 trading tools and soft‑dollar research arrangements, and it maintains trade allocation and pricing practices intended to align employee and client execution prices.

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
