About
Diversified Global Investment Strategies, LLC serves individuals, business owners, qualified and non‑qualified retirement plans, trusts, and non‑profit organizations. The firm offers portfolio management (both discretionary and non‑discretionary), comprehensive financial and estate planning, and retirement‑plan consulting and benchmarking services.
DGIS follows a consultative, team‑based "Dynamic Management Process" that begins with client fact‑finding, produces tailored recommendations, implements strategies via Raymond James and partner platforms, and provides ongoing monitoring. The firm uses five strategic asset‑allocation models, favors tax‑efficient ETFs in non‑qualified accounts and mutual funds in qualified accounts, and operates both model‑based allocations and a concentrated 30–40 position Global Portfolio; historically a substantial portion of assets have been managed on a non‑discretionary basis (approximately $18M of $55M reported).
Notable features that distinguish DGIS from many peers include the principal’s dual role as a registered representative of Raymond James Financial Services and as a licensed insurance agent, meaning clients may access commissionable brokerage and insurance products in addition to advisory services. The firm sponsors the Ambassador asset‑based (wrap) program, provides access to separately managed accounts through Raymond James/RJCS, and places emphasis on retirement‑plan work and participant education, including periodic seminars and workshops through its RPAG affiliation.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
