About

Expand Financial Group, LLC advises individuals and high-net-worth clients and also accepts a range of institutional and organizational relationships, including charitable organizations. The firm offers asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, and standalone financial planning and consulting, and can advise on “held-away” assets through third-party order management arrangements.

Portfolios are customized using stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, REITs and other alternatives, with services offered on discretionary or non-discretionary bases and periodic rebalancing and monitoring. The firm describes a multi-method investment process (fundamental, technical, quantitative, sector and duration management) and discloses that it may use borrowing/margin in separately managed accounts.

Noteworthy features relative to peers include a multi-office footprint (six offices) and an uncommon client mix that the brochure lists as including sovereign wealth funds, banking and insurance entities, other investment advisers, and state or municipal governments. The brochure also discloses prior state enforcement orders for transacting without registration (Pennsylvania in 2021 and Florida in 2023), a recent transition to SEC registration, and additional business activities: some representatives are licensed insurance agents who receive commissions and at least one representative provides tax services as an enrolled agent; the firm may also share fees with third-party advisers and receives custodial and support services from its recommended custodian.

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.
