About

Decision Investments, Inc. provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individual and high-net-worth clients as well as employer plan sponsors, managing about $154.9 million for roughly 135 client relationships with two advisors. Services described in the brochure include portfolio management across equities, fixed income, ETFs and mutual funds, standalone financial plans, consultation on topics such as college funding and tax/estate planning, and ERISA-conscious retirement plan consulting.

The firm describes an active, tactical asset-allocation approach that combines fundamental and technical analysis, with portfolios reviewed at least quarterly and rebalanced as needed; it also discloses the use of alternative instruments including structured investment products. Accounts are custodied at a qualified custodian and the firm has limited authority to instruct fee deductions; the brochure also states the firm does not accept proxy-voting authority for client securities.

What distinguishes the firm among peers is its combination of a relatively small advisory team with formalized, detailed procedures for structured products — including documented suitability, supervisory review, annual training, and concentration monitoring — and its disclosure that it advertises third‑party ratings. The brochure also highlights firm-level compliance controls (a formal Code of Ethics, documented trade-error and aggregation policies) and explicit ERISA fiduciary acknowledgement for retirement-plan engagements.

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
