About
Great Plans Capital Management provides financial planning and asset management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as trusts, estates, pension and business clients. The firm is a small advisory practice managing about $10.5 million across roughly 34 client relationships and offers both one‑time planning engagements and ongoing portfolio management.
The firm’s investment approach centers on passive asset allocation using ETFs, no‑load mutual funds, individual equities and bonds, with bond duration set by fundamental analysis and rating agency inputs; GPCM states it does not engage in market timing. When appropriate and with client approval, the firm may implement listed option strategies (covered calls and cash‑secured puts) and uses derivatives in separately managed accounts as an income and risk‑management tool.
GPCM is notable for managing most assets on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client approval for security selection and providing periodic quarterly communications and annual brochure updates. The firm also has atypical affiliations for its peer group: the principal operates a tax preparation and consulting business and a firm representative operates an independent insurance agency, and clients may be solicited for those ancillary services while remaining free to use other providers.

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
