About

CarsonAllaria Wealth Management is a registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, corporations, and retirement plan sponsors and participants. The firm reports managing approximately $791.8 million on a discretionary basis and also offers retirement plan services, participant advice, and plan consulting under ERISA frameworks.

Portfolios are managed according to written client profiles and investment plans, with typical allocations across equities, ETFs, mutual funds, cash, and fixed income; the firm applies quantitative optimization, computer‑based risk/return analysis, and institutional share‑class selection in its process. CarsonAllaria conducts periodic account reviews, provides ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) fiduciary options for plans, and leverages third‑party platforms — including a Betterment sub‑advisory arrangement for some accounts and Morningstar technology for reporting, billing, and administrative functions.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is the combination of a relatively large asset base managed by a six‑adviser team and an integrated offering that spans traditional discretionary wealth management and formal ERISA fiduciary services for employer plans. The firm’s advisors also maintain insurance and broker‑dealer registrations (with disclosed conflicts related to rollovers and insurance commissions), and CarsonAllaria leaves proxy voting authority with clients rather than voting proxies on their behalf.

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.
