About

Code Waechter LLC advises individuals, high-net-worth clients, families, trusts, and select institutional clients through financial planning and discretionary asset management. The firm also provides standalone planning engagements and implements recommendations for clients who choose to become asset management clients.

Investment decisions are typically guided by written financial plans and proprietary investment models, using fundamental analysis and a mix of active and passive strategies; the firm also may allocate to third‑party managers when appropriate. Reviews are conducted regularly and CW can manage accounts on a discretionary basis, with procedures for non‑discretionary instructions when required.

A notable distinguishing feature is that several professionals at the firm are separately licensed as independent insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance and employee-benefit products, a practice less common among similar team firms; CW discloses this potential conflict and maintains a Code of Ethics and disclosure practices to address it. The firm also assists business owners with group and voluntary employee benefits and uses custodial and operational services from a major institutional custodian to support trading, reporting, and back‑office functions.

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
