About
The Kalish Group is a small, state-registered investment advisory firm that provides discretionary investment management, financial and estate planning, and consulting to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, businesses, and charitable organizations. The firm’s client roster is concentrated among high-net-worth clients and it does not serve non-high-net-worth individual clients.
The Kalish Group builds customized portfolios using a strategic, long-term asset allocation process and a mix of analytical methods (macroeconomic, fundamental, quantitative, technical, cyclical, and qualitative). Portfolios may include ETFs and mutual funds as well as domestic and foreign equities, fixed income, options and leveraged ETFs, and the firm monitors accounts regularly and rebalances as needed.
Compared with peers of similar size, the firm is notable for its concentrated HNW client focus and for employing derivative and limited margin strategies (margin typically capped at around 10% of net assets) as part of its discretionary management toolkit. The firm also emphasizes a proprietary portfolio methodology, conducts client reviews directly through the firm’s principal, and discloses a code of ethics while not accepting third‑party compensation or performance‑based fees.

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.
