About

Global Wealth Strategies and Associates, LLC advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), employer‑sponsored retirement plans, foundations, trusts, and other institutional clients. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning (including an online planning portal), retirement plan advisory, trustee/administration services, and consulting on specific matters such as estate, real estate, and private business equity or debt investments.

GWS&A typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis and follows a top‑down, macro‑environmental approach that emphasizes tactical asset allocation and sector rotation, alongside growth and fixed‑income strategies. The firm also employs sub‑advisers and third‑party managers as needed and has added direct indexing strategies and technology‑enabled plan administration to its offerings.

Among features that distinguish GWS&A from many peers are its integration with tax and accounting resources — several IARs provide tax services through a separate CPA practice and the firm may arrange a tax stipend to pay a client’s CPA in limited circumstances — and its affiliated insurance entity that supports life and other non‑variable insurance products. The firm also provides trustee and ILIT administration with related oversight procedures and offers consulting for privately held business transactions and ROBS arrangements, services that are less common among similar team advisers.

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.
