About

Charter Advisory Corporation provides personalized investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, retirement and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm manages roughly $333 million in client assets and offers both discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, as well as plan-level ERISA fiduciary services.

Charter combines fundamental and technical analysis with model- and manager-based solutions delivered through LPL-sponsored programs (including MAS, OMP, PWP, MWP and GWP) and conducts periodic reviews and rebalancing of client accounts. Financial planning, isolated transaction advice, and ongoing reviews are integrated into its management process, and the firm discloses its ERISA/IRC fiduciary responsibilities when advising retirement accounts.

The brochure highlights several atypical affiliations for a multi-team adviser: certain investment adviser representatives may be licensed as CPAs, provide pension-consulting services, and sell insurance, and the firm discloses referral and fee-sharing arrangements with third‑party advisers and LPL that can create additional compensation streams. It also notes the firm may recommend or assist with non-traditional partnership investments (such as venture capital or equipment leasing), underscoring a broader set of advisor roles and potential conflicts that clients should consider.

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.
