As an Independent, Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisor, Warburton Capital provides objective and customized investment consulting for institutions without commissions, referral fees, or product sales bias. This approach helps to ensure that recommendations we make are aligned with your best interest.
A Purposeful Approach to Investment Consulting for Institutions
Warburton Capital serves in a fiduciary capacity for institutions seeking to manage their investment assets with a purposeful strategy. Whether your organization is a small nonprofit or a large endowment, our team offers clear, evidence-based solutions to help you fulfill your mission with long-term confidence and financial clarity.
Our Investment Consulting Services Include:
Development of Investment Policy Statements (IPS):
We work closely with your leadership team to craft a custom IPS that reflects your organization’s goals, values, time horizon, and risk tolerance. The IPS becomes the roadmap for how your portfolio is managed and reviewed, offering consistency and accountability over time.
Globally Diversified Portfolios:
Through academic research and historical market data, we construct broadly diversified portfolios built for durability, not speculation. Diversification is more than a buzzword—it’s a strategy grounded in reason and designed to limit unnecessary risk while seeking appropriate returns.
Ongoing Portfolio Monitoring and Reporting:
Institutional portfolios deserve more than annual check-ins. We provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand reporting on your portfolio’s performance and allocation, and we’re available as often as needed to review strategy, answer questions, or revise direction as circumstances change.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services for Employers:
Institutions with employee retirement plans—such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s, SIMPLE IRAs, or SEP IRAs—can rely on Warburton Capital for guidance on plan design, investment selection, participant education, and fiduciary oversight. We help employers create retirement plans that are low-cost, commission-free, and optimized to serve both the employer and employees.
Retirement Plan Consulting: Simplifying the Complex
Helping your employees secure their future is a responsibility we take seriously. Through our institution investment consulting services, we offer end-to-end support for workplace retirement plans:
Plan Design & Optimization: Whether you’re starting a new plan or reevaluating an existing one, our team helps you choose the best structure for your goals—be it a 401(k), 403(b), SIMPLE IRA, or SEP IRA.
Investment Menu Construction: We offer globally diversified investment portfolios tailored to participant needs and aligned with fiduciary standards. We don’t recommend proprietary products or commission-based options.
One-on-One Participant Education: Employees have access to individual financial guidance, helping them understand their options and make confident decisions for their future.
Ongoing Plan Support & Fiduciary Review: As fiduciaries ourselves, we understand the importance of regular review and accountability. We partner with your management team to ensure your plan remains compliant, competitive, and aligned with best practices.
Institutional Cash Management: Purposeful Use of Capital
Corporate and nonprofit leaders often struggle with how to manage large cash balances. Warburton Capital offers investment consulting for institutions that includes corporate cash management strategies aimed at maximizing returns on reserve funds without compromising liquidity needs or risk profiles.
Rather than leaving funds idle, we help you:
- Analyze cash flow requirements
- Establish cash tiering strategies
- Invest excess reserves in high-quality, short-duration instruments
- Monitor performance and rebalance as needed
This approach allows your organization to get more from your balance sheet—safely and efficiently.
Supporting Our Community: Investment Consulting for Nonprofits, Foundations & Endowments
At Warburton Capital, community service isn’t just a checkbox—it’s part of our identity. Many of our advisors actively serve on nonprofit boards, and our firm supports a variety of charitable organizations through both direct giving and volunteerism.
Nonprofits and foundations trust us with institution investment consulting because we speak their language. We understand the stewardship expectations of donors, the importance of maintaining spending policies, and the sensitivity of aligning investments with mission-based goals.
Our consultative approach includes:
- Tailored IPS development for board governance
- Evidence-based portfolio design that reflects mission priorities
- Transparent reporting and board education
- Spending policy alignment with investment goals

That’s why Warburton Capital intentionally limits the size of our practice to ensure we remain available, responsive, and fully committed to each client.
