About

Financial Management Strategies, Inc. provides advisory services to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and pension/profit‑sharing plans. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, a suite of model asset allocation portfolios, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory and consulting services.

FMS structures portfolios around written investment policy statements, ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing, and uses a range of analytical methods (fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative) and strategies (long‑ and short‑term holdings, options limited to covered calls and protective puts) to meet client objectives. The firm may serve as an ERISA fiduciary for retirement plans (under Section 3(21) or 3(38)), performs fund selection and monitoring for plans, and provides participant education and workshops as part of plan services.

Distinctive features for a team of this size include operating from eight offices and offering plan participant seminars/workshops, both of which the brochure notes as less common among peers. The brochure also discloses a past regulatory matter: FMS self‑reported to the SEC under the Share Class Selection Disclosure Initiative concerning disclosure of mutual fund 12b‑1 servicing fees and share‑class selection and consented to an SEC Order (file IA‑5144); the firm also discloses that some advisory personnel are separately registered as broker‑dealer representatives or insurance agents and describes policies to address those conflicts.

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.
