About

Designed Wealth USA Ltd. provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and integrated financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and to other investment advisers, with a primary focus on mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds and the ability to advise on a broader range of securities. The firm describes its services as tailored to each client's suitability information and includes ongoing monitoring and rebalancing as part of its portfolio management offering.

The firm primarily implements strategies through third‑party model portfolios and may allocate client assets to a SEI sub‑advisory program that implements ETF and mutual‑fund models; it uses fundamental analysis and both long‑ and short‑term purchase strategies while generally not performing in‑house quantitative analysis of individual securities. Cash management is handled via the custodian’s money‑market sweep and the firm relies on outside managers or models for trade implementation and ongoing portfolio oversight.

What is noteworthy about the firm is that it is SEC‑registered while organized under non‑U.S. law and maintaining its principal office outside the United States, and it operates with common ownership ties to a broker‑dealer, accounting firm, law firm and an insurance entity. The brochure also discloses that associated persons are licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions for insurance sales and that the adviser is newly registered with no assets under management to date, factors that create specific conflicts of interest and oversight considerations relative to many peers.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
