About

Park River Advisors LLC provides fee-based investment advisory services, discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, and investment consulting to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and other entities. The firm manages roughly $45 million in discretionary assets for a relatively small client roster and delivers customized services on a client-by-client basis.

The firm’s stated investment approach emphasizes a tactical allocation strategy intended to reduce risk and pursue improved performance, and it applies fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis in portfolio construction. Park River Advisors may use a range of instruments — including listed equities, fixed income, mutual funds, options, and occasional short sales or cash positions as hedges — and monitors accounts on an ongoing, discretionary basis.

Distinctive features include a small advisory team led by a CFA charterholder with a background in institutional equity research and a second advisor who continues to work full time in the technology sector, reflecting an atypical staffing mix for firms of this size. The firm also offers investment consulting engagements on negotiated monthly or hourly terms and will implement active derivative and short-selling strategies in certain accounts, practices that are less common among similarly supported advisors.

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.
