About

The firm advises individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) as well as pension and other institutional clients, providing discretionary portfolio management, financial consulting, and pension consulting that can include participant education and plan-level advice. It offers both ongoing asset management and stand‑alone consulting engagements.

Investment management is delivered largely through firm-developed model portfolios and by engaging third‑party advisers who may manage portions of client accounts on a discretionary basis; clients are expected to participate in the planning process and to grant appropriate discretionary authority when needed. The firm uses a range of strategies — including long- and short-term purchases, option strategies, and active cash management — and notes that model-based accounts limit clients’ ability to restrict specific holdings within those models.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include a relatively large asset base managed by a compact advisory team and a business model that relies on third‑party models rather than in‑house quantitative security analysis. The firm’s brochure discloses several operational and conflict-of-interest features that can affect client relationships — including affiliations with broker‑dealers and insurance activities, outside business interests of senior personnel, the option to offer more frequent billing in addition to quarterly billing, the imposition of separate charges for cash/accommodation accounts, and procedures (such as standing transfer authorizations and fee deductions) that create limited custody exposure.

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.
