About

FMI serves individuals (including high net worth clients), as well as corporations and partnerships, advising roughly 690 client relationships and managing about $318.3 million in discretionary assets. The firm provides discretionary investment management, retirement-plan (401(k)) advisory services, consulting, and tiered financial planning engagements (complex, comprehensive, simplified, and hourly).

Portfolios are customized to client goals and time horizons and typically combine actively managed and indexed mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, with performance reviewed at least quarterly and delivered in written client reports and an in-house newsletter. FMI acts as a fiduciary for retirement accounts, uses Charles Schwab Institutional as its custodian and trading platform, and holds annual no-charge client meetings that also address insurance and related planning topics.

Noteworthy aspects include an employee-ownership structure with multiple owner-operators and a scale (approximately $318.3M AUM across 690 clients) that is larger than many supported peers; the firm also recently changed its advisory billing to quarterly in arrears. Advisors are licensed to sell life, disability and annuity products and may receive commissions for insurance sales (a disclosed conflict of interest), and the firm relies on Schwab’s research platform as part of its investment resources.

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.
