About
The firm provides investment supervisory services and financial planning primarily to individual family households, retirement and pension plans, trusts, estates, and similar clients. It operates with three advisors and about 102 client households (roughly $51.1 million in assets under management) and delivers both discretionary and non‑discretionary monitoring and management—investment supervisory work represents about 70% of its practice—with a suggested household investment level of $200,000.
Its investment approach combines strategic asset allocation with several in‑house tactical programs. These programs include a Tactical Aggressive strategy that may use ETFs, mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds (including leveraged and inverse ETFs), a Tactical Moderate program that emphasizes trend weighting with unleveraged vehicles, and a multi‑basket retirement allocation program that targets consistent absolute returns (described as a 6–8% objective with the ability to reduce equity exposure to 0%); the firm also selects and monitors third‑party money managers and uses charting, technical, fundamental and cyclical analysis.
Noteworthy features for a firm of this size include its long operating history and a team mix that includes a CFP and a CPA alongside advisors holding ChFC/CLU/CAP/AEP credentials, and an operational willingness to use higher‑activity tools (leveraged/inverse ETFs, single‑stock positions, options, short sales) alongside planning services. The brochure discloses insurance sales activity—one advisor devotes a majority of time to insurance—and solicitor arrangements with third‑party managers; the firm states it will not charge advisory fees on insurance products, does not accept custody of client assets, and does not accept proxy‑voting authority.

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.
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
