About

Cerity Partners provides customized wealth management and related services to a broad national client base, including individuals (including high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth), families, trusts and estates, business entities and their employees, charitable organizations, foundations, endowments, and other institutional investors. Services described in the brochure include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, tax planning and preparation, insurance placement and access to alternative and private-market investments.

The firm builds client programs through tailored asset-allocation, manager selection and periodic rebalancing, using proprietary quantitative screens alongside third‑party managers and individual securities as appropriate. Cerity Partners operates multiple private‑markets offerings (including PMAI/PMI and a PDI Program), organizes certain private investments into series under PMOF, and discloses that its PDI program now invests through BlueArc under a fee‑sharing arrangement — matters that affect due diligence, conflicts and valuation practices described in the brochure.

Compared with many large advisers, Cerity Partners maintains an affiliated pension consulting practice (Cerity Partners Retirement Plan Advisors / RPC/CPIC) that provides ERISA fiduciary and plan design services and an affiliated broker‑dealer (CP Client Solutions, FINRA‑member) that offers variable and private‑placement insurance and annuity products through registered representatives who may receive commissions. The firm also operates an affiliated insurance agency (CP Risk Management), a venture unit (CP Ventures) and a co‑investment vehicle, and discloses a strategic partnership and minority equity investment in Nasdaq Private Market (and a referral arrangement with SecondMarket), each of which the brochure identifies as creating potential conflicts of interest to be considered.

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.

Find your advisor

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
