About

CORE serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, corporations and charitable organizations with discretionary asset management, retirement-plan consulting, financial planning, coaching and related advisory services. The firm reports managing roughly $338 million for about 1,141 clients through a team of ten advisors and delivers both portfolio management and planning services across its advisory representatives.

Investment work is delivered primarily on a discretionary basis using a mix of proprietary CORE model portfolios and access to multiple LPL-sponsored platforms and third‑party manager programs (including wrap and non-wrap solutions, model portfolios, and an algorithm-driven managed service). Advisory representatives gather client goals, risk tolerance and liquidity needs to set objectives and monitor accounts at least annually, and they may move client assets among platforms or sub-advisors to align with those objectives.

Notable distinctions include CORE’s role as sponsor and portfolio manager of a wrap-fee program offered on LPL’s SWM II platform and the firm’s networked structure of investment advisory representatives who operate in separate offices and DBAs. Unlike many peers, several CORE IARs are also registered representatives of LPL and licensed insurance agents and may offer commission-based financial and insurance products, and CORE retains a portion of advisory fees when its portfolio or CIO services are used — arrangements the brochure discloses as potential conflicts of interest.

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
