About

Arbor Investment Management provides discretionary investment management and related financial planning services to mid- to high-net-worth individuals, trusts, corporations and select plans, managing roughly $162 million across about 96 client relationships. In addition to portfolio management, the firm includes comprehensive financial forecasting and offers advice on retirement, tax and estate planning as part of its service package.

The firm emphasizes a valuation-based, fundamentally driven approach and typically constructs diversified portfolios primarily from individual stocks and bonds, using mutual funds and ETFs selectively to achieve allocation goals. Arbor manages client accounts under a limited power of attorney and, when appropriate for a client, may employ covered option strategies, hedging/spreading techniques and ETFs that include futures or commodity exposure.

Noteworthy distinctions include the firm’s practice of providing extensive financial forecasting as a standard part of asset management and its use of derivatives and options in separately managed accounts — a capability that is relatively uncommon among comparable supported firms. Arbor operates as a fee-only, independent advisor with written personal-trading and block-allocation policies, and discloses a referral arrangement with a tax preparer who is related to the firm owner, with limited fee-offset options available to clients.

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.
