About
Carolina Planning Group provides personalized financial planning and investment management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and entities such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. Services include comprehensive portfolio management, ongoing financial planning, and referrals to other professionals as requested by clients.
The firm employs a strategic asset allocation, core‑and‑satellite approach that emphasizes passive, multi‑factor investments and global diversification, and it primarily recommends Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) mutual funds for core exposure. Accounts may be managed on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, with written investment policy statements and at least quarterly reviews to align portfolios with client objectives.
Notable aspects disclosed in the brochure are that the firm sponsors a wrap fee program that bundles management, transaction, and administrative costs into a single fee and that wrap accounts are typically managed more actively. The brochure also discloses that persons providing advice may be licensed insurance agents who can receive separate commission-based compensation for insurance sales, and it documents business‑continuity arrangements including a contingency agreement with another advisory firm.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
