About

Financial Forum provides investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Services described in its brochure include asset and cash management, retirement and estate planning, education funding, risk and tax management, employee and executive benefits, and coordination with clients’ attorneys and CPAs, and the firm can access and trade certain outside accounts (401(k), HSA, and other custodial accounts) through the Pontera order management system.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, emphasizing diversified portfolios built from equities, fixed income, ETFs, and mutual funds while permitting tactical elements such as options, margin, and short‑term trading when appropriate. Financial Forum generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, establishes objectives via an investor questionnaire with at least annual reviews, charges percentage‑of‑AUM fees billed monthly, and notes that some legacy accounts are managed through a wrap fee program while most new accounts are opened on a non‑wrap basis.

What is distinctive for this firm is that it sponsors a wrap fee program for certain existing clients — a feature that is uncommon among peers — and reports limited custody related to standing limited transfer authorizations (SLOAs). The firm also receives additional custodial services and reporting tools from large broker‑dealers and operates with a small team that combines long‑tenured advisors and recent hires with small‑business and board experience, arrangements that are disclosed as potential sources of conflicts of interest (for example, insurance licensing and custodial economic benefits).

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.
