About
Gebhardt Group provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and retirement plan participants, serving a primarily individual and high‑net‑worth clientele. The firm manages roughly $346 million for about 225 clients across three advisors and typically requires a $1 million account minimum (or a set minimum annual fee), and offers fee‑based planning on an hourly or fixed‑fee basis while coordinating with clients’ CPAs and estate attorneys.
The firm’s investment approach is actively managed and trend‑oriented, operating a “Protected Growth” strategy that combines quantitative trend analysis with fundamental research, weekly monitoring and model allocations that can move fully out of equities or fixed income. Implementation is primarily through custodial relationships at Charles Schwab, supplemented by third‑party programs (including Schwab Managed Accounts) and use of the Pontera platform to manage held‑away retirement participant accounts.
Noteworthy departures from many peers include the firm’s use of a proprietary four‑step “Whole Wealth Journey” planning process with behavioral assessments (KOLBE, Dreams & Vision questionnaire) and its continued receipt of commissions for insurance and annuity sales as appointed agents. The brochure also discloses relationships with other investment managers and third‑party programs (and historical participation in Schwab referral arrangements), arrangements the firm notes may create potential conflicts of interest.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
