About
Diversified Consumer Planning provides ongoing investment supervisory and portfolio management services to individual clients on a fee-only, percentage-of-AUM basis and accepts client-imposed restrictions on investments. The firm limits its investment universe to publicly listed open-end no-load or load‑waived mutual funds (including no-load ETF mutual funds) and maintains a nominal minimum investment requirement of $1.
The firm follows an active, rules-driven investment process that combines Modern Portfolio Theory metrics (Sharpe ratio, Treynor, beta, standard deviation) with third‑party performance rankings (e.g., Morningstar top 10%, Investors Business Daily top 5%) and strategies such as trend-following, diversification, time diversification, and preservation of capital. Account handling includes daily monitoring, monthly detailed reviews, minimum holding periods (typically 90 days, and 365 days in taxable accounts when feasible) and specific loss-management triggers (a 20% stop‑loss guideline).
Founded in 1988 and owner-operated with contracted operations support, the firm operates at a small scale and typically grows through referrals from current clients rather than paid solicitors. It recommends discount broker custodians, receives non‑transactional services (charting, performance monitoring and other practice tools) from its custodian under a soft‑dollar arrangement, and discloses that those benefits are not intended to influence its mutual-fund selections.

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
