About

Winebrenner Capital Management (WCM) manages approximately $260 million in discretionary assets for individuals, businesses, trusts, estates and charitable organizations and serves as general partner and adviser to four private pooled vehicles: the Winebrenner Income Fund, Winebrenner Total Return Fund, Winebrenner Real Estate Fund, and Winebrenner Opportunity Zone Fund. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management for individual accounts, fund management for pooled vehicles, and access to third‑party money managers plus complementary financial planning and tax‑related tools through unaffiliated platforms.

WCM follows a bottom‑up, fundamental investment process that emphasizes analysis of financial statements, cash flow and intrinsic value to identify undervalued opportunities; at the fund level it pursues distinct objectives such as current income (Income Fund), total return (Total Return Fund), real‑estate investments (Real Estate Fund) and qualified opportunity zone investments (Opportunity Zone Fund). Portfolios are actively monitored, and the firm discloses use of non‑traditional and illiquid assets, derivatives, and other instruments in its pooled vehicles as part of its investment flexibility.

Noteworthy for a team firm, WCM acts not only as an adviser to private funds but as their general partner and private fund manager, including performance‑based allocations on those funds and fund‑level acquisition/disposition arrangements for real estate investments. The firm also has affiliated property management and real‑estate entities (Timberwood Properties LLC; Winebrenner Property Management; Bourbon West Main, NuLu East Main, Main Plumb, and Main Machine) that are involved with fund investments, and it discloses related conflicts, redemption restrictions and custody/standing transfer arrangements as part of its compliance practices.

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.

Find your advisor

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
