About

Fairway Capital Advisors serves individual clients — including high‑net‑worth households — as well as trusts, estates and employer retirement plans. The firm offers comprehensive portfolio management, standalone financial planning, and ongoing retirement plan consulting.

The firm’s investment process typically operates on a non‑discretionary basis: it obtains client approval prior to effecting trades and implements strategies through a mix of in‑house management, separately managed accounts and selected third‑party money managers. Portfolios and third‑party managers are monitored periodically and the firm recommends institutional custodians and execution platforms to clients.

Distinctive for a supported firm of its size, Fairway sponsors a wrap fee program limited to legacy clients while requiring all new clients to sign non‑wrap agreements, and it reported approximately $66.7 million in non‑discretionary regulatory AUM and $0 in discretionary AUM as of the reporting date. The firm operates with a small advisory team (two advisors serving under 50 clients) and emphasizes client consent, third‑party manager due diligence, and periodic reviews as central elements of its operating model.

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.
