About

Barnes Pettey provides investment advisory and planning services to individuals (including high net worth clients), families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and retirement plans. The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, and consulting services for qualified retirement plans.

The firm tailors portfolios to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance, employing fundamental and technical analysis and a range of strategies from long‑term purchases to options, margin transactions, and alternative investments; it may also select and monitor unaffiliated external managers and deliver written financial plans. Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis with at least annual formal reviews, and the firm coordinates with clients’ tax and legal professionals when appropriate.

Distinctive features include roughly $1.31 billion in assets under management distributed across six offices and a team of eight advisors, producing a client load per advisor that is substantially higher than typical for similar team firms. The firm discloses an affiliation with an accounting firm it may recommend to clients, recently noted that it previously sponsored a wrap fee program but no longer offers one, and uses a Raymond James custodial platform that provides technology and support services.

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.
