About

Catton Capital Partners is a small registered investment adviser with two advisors managing approximately $39.6 million for a limited roster of 16 clients. The firm offers asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, third‑party money manager selection, and retirement plan consulting for individuals, trusts, pension plans, and corporate clients.

Portfolios are customized and monitored on an ongoing basis, using individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, options and alternative investments, with the firm routinely rebalancing and, where appropriate, delegating implementation to third‑party sub‑advisors. The firm combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and employs a wide range of strategies—including asset allocation, fixed income, option writing, short sales, margin use and exposure to cryptocurrency products—reflecting a readiness to use higher‑complexity instruments.

Compared with many peers, the firm’s practice is notably small and concentrated: the brochure discloses a $500,000 typical account minimum and just 16 clients, which suggests it does not maintain a broad retail or high‑volume individual client base. Other distinguishing features for a firm of this size include ongoing retirement plan consulting while recommending alternative and cryptocurrency products, reliance on third‑party managers for implementation, and a recent transition from SEC to state registration.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
