About

Financial Designs Wealth Management serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, corporations, and retirement plan sponsors, offering wealth management and portfolio management on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis, retirement plan consulting, and estate planning coordination. The firm implements client strategies through third‑party money managers and separately managed accounts and documents engagements via an Investment Management Agreement.

FD Wealth builds personalized portfolios emphasizing asset allocation, diversification, and periodic rebalancing, drawing on fundamental and technical analysis and investing across equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, and alternatives. The firm monitors sub‑advisers and uses institutional custody and reporting services (including Fidelity) and delivers retirement plan consulting and support to other advisers via an agreement with Dynamic Advisor Solutions.

What distinguishes FD Wealth from many peers is its material affiliation with FD National, an insurance agency: several advisers are licensed insurance agents and registered representatives and the firm reports substantial assets under advisement in variable insurance products, annuities, and 401(k) plans (about $202 million), while also receiving a portion of retirement‑plan fees from Dynamic. These relationships create potential conflicts of interest (including commission-based compensation and revenue-sharing), which the firm discloses and manages through policies and procedures.

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.
