About

DBS Investment Advisers, LLC provides portfolio management, financial planning, and pension consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients) and retirement plans. The firm offers both discretionary and non-discretionary management and may implement strategies through firm-developed or third‑party model portfolios and sub‑advisers.

Its investment approach emphasizes diversified allocations—primarily mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds—guided by modern portfolio theory and longer‑term purchase strategies, with model portfolios monitored and rebalanced on a scheduled basis or as client circumstances change. The firm documents client objectives, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs to tailor portfolios, and notes that tax efficiency is not its primary management consideration unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Notably, the firm discloses an ownership affiliation with a real estate brokerage (DBS Professional Practice Brokers, LLC) that may provide appraisal, transaction consultation, and brokerage services to advisory clients and identifies the resulting conflict of interest while stating clients are under no obligation to use the affiliate. The firm also offers a discounted fee arrangement for a professional association (Michigan Dental Association members) and discloses it may compensate unaffiliated parties for client referrals, practices that distinguish its referral and affiliation arrangements from many peers.

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
