About

Albitz/Miloe and Associates is an SEC‑registered advisory firm serving primarily individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as entities such as trusts, charities and corporate pension or profit‑sharing plans; the firm reports about $821 million in assets under management, six advisors, and roughly 657 client relationships. It offers three core services: a discretionary managed account called the Greater Value Account (GVA), a variable‑annuity allocation service (CAM), and a Quarterly Report Advisory service that provides periodic analysis and recommendations.

The firm tailors portfolios to client objectives and risk tolerances, using a mix of mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, fixed‑income, REITs and insurance‑based products, with GVA accounts managed on a discretionary basis and CAM and Quarterly Report engagements offered non‑discretionarily. Advisors monitor accounts regularly (with at least quarterly contact) and use both fundamental and technical analysis, may aggregate trades via block trading, and note that CAM implementation is constrained by the investment sub‑accounts available within a client’s annuity contract.

A distinguishing feature is that the firm’s advisors are dually licensed as registered representatives of a non‑affiliated broker‑dealer and as investment adviser representatives of that broker‑dealer’s RIA platform, and they may also manage advisory assets on that separate platform; this affiliation and dual registration can result in commissions, 12b‑1 or trailing compensation and production‑based bonuses at the advisor level, which the firm discloses and addresses through supervisory procedures, a code of ethics, and client disclosures. The advisory team also includes credentialed planners and analysts (CFP, CFA, CRPS among them) and the firm maintains long‑standing operations and formal policies (custody/SLOA safeguards, business continuity, and written supervisory reviews) to manage conflicts and operational risks.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
