About

Edelman Financial Engines provides technology-enabled investment advisory and financial planning services to individual investors, retirement-plan participants, and institutional clients. Its offerings cover workplace solutions for defined contribution plans, IRAs and taxable accounts, planner-led wealth management, retirement income services, and sub-advisory/TAMP arrangements.

The firm combines a committee-driven, proprietary modeling process with planner delivery and online tools, offering both discretionary management (Professional Management, Personal Advisor, SMAs) and non-discretionary Online Advice. Its investment process emphasizes diversified model portfolios, periodic rebalancing and long-term orientation, and Edelman Financial Engines operates as a fiduciary for retirement accounts under ERISA and applicable DOL guidance.

Notable characteristics include a direct-subscription online advice channel available outside the workplace alongside its employer-integrated offerings, and a very large scale of client service—managing approximately $326 billion for roughly 477,000 clients supported by 686 advisors, which implies a high client-per-advisor ratio. The firm also offers product exposures that are less common for large institutional advisers, including direct-indexing SMAs, alternative private funds and structured products, and thematic portfolios with digital-asset exposures.

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
