About

Carroll, Frank & Plotkin provides portfolio advisory services, non-wrap RASA 044 accounts and comprehensive financial planning to individuals and trust accounts, and offers access to third‑party advisory programs. As of 12/31/2023 the firm reported $0 in discretionary AUM but supervised $22,586,114 in client assets that are managed by third parties.

The firm uses fundamental analysis and a long‑term purchase strategy and generally recommends mutual funds, stocks and bonds when constructing portfolios. It also assists clients in the selection and ongoing monitoring of third‑party advisers and offers advisory accounts where clients can impose reasonable investment restrictions.

A distinctive operational feature is that all advisory representatives are also registered representatives of Osaic Wealth, Inc., and advisory activity is processed through Osaic Wealth’s clearing relationship with Pershing, which can affect trade routing and supervisory oversight. The firm also discloses the potential to receive commissions from the sale of securities and insurance products and uses negotiable planning fees and flat‑fee arrangements for some financial planning work, which may create conflicts that clients should review.

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.
