About

Yosemite Capital Management is a team-based SEC-registered investment adviser with six advisors managing about $369 million for roughly 266 clients. The firm provides customized portfolio management, a range of financial planning services (including traditional, advanced, and personal CFO offerings), and the recommendation or oversight of third‑party managers; it also offers access to private fund investments for suitably qualified clients.

YCM typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis using model risk profiles (conservative to aggressive), generally allocating to ETFs and mutual funds while applying fundamental and technical analysis and a formal manager‑selection process for third‑party advisers. The firm conducts periodic reviews, may accept limited non‑discretionary arrangements for select custodians, and discloses that certain client allocations can include illiquid private real estate funds and other alternative strategies.

The firm’s brochure highlights several uncommon features for a team adviser: a 2010 SEC administrative proceeding arising from failures to disclose due diligence problems related to a feeder‑fund investment; an operational role as a minority member/co‑manager in an entity that manages affiliated private real estate funds (with two funds closed to new capital and one actively raising capital as of 2024), a relationship the firm discloses can produce indirect compensation and conflicts of interest; and the practice of hosting educational seminars for which attendees may be charged to cover event expenses.

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
