About
BWM provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, and estates. Portfolios are typically built around diversified mutual funds and ETFs, with individual stocks, fixed income and options used as needed, and the firm may retain legacy positions for portfolio fit or tax reasons.
The firm employs fundamental analysis and a generally long‑term orientation, working with clients to define objectives and risk tolerance and then implementing customized asset allocations. BWM monitors accounts on an ongoing basis and may rebalance, harvest gains or losses, or adjust sector and asset class weightings in response to market conditions or client needs.
Notably, the firm generally does not serve non‑high‑net‑worth individual investors and instead concentrates on high‑net‑worth clients, trusts and estates; its advisor is also a licensed insurance professional who may receive separate commission‑based compensation for insurance sales, a disclosed potential conflict of interest. The brochure also discloses an institutional custodial relationship that provides technology and operational support and records a 2007 client complaint that was settled in 2008.

Forms ADV
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.
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
