About
Guardian Investment Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with discretionary asset management, financial planning, cash/treasury management, and educational seminars. The firm also provides discretionary oversight of variable and fixed index annuities, including making interest strategy selections, receiving contract information from carriers, and directing carrier withdrawals to pay management fees.
Guardian tailors investment programs to each client’s goals and risk tolerance using written investment policy documents and a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, and it uses third‑party program platforms (including Orion Portfolio Solutions) for managed accounts and reporting. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and custody is maintained at qualified custodians; the firm accepts discretionary trading authority to implement client strategies.
Distinctive features disclosed in the firm’s brochure include that the principal spends significant time as a licensed insurance agent and operates affiliated insurance‑related entities, which the firm discloses may create conflicts when insurance products are recommended and says are mitigated by disclosure and fiduciary procedures. The brochure also discloses recent regulatory/disciplinary background for the principal, including a 2025 criminal guilty plea with probation and a 2018 Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing (discharged), which are reported in the firm’s regulatory filings.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
