About

Guidance Point Advisors, LLC manages roughly $558 million for about 252 client relationships and serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as some corporations and unincorporated associations. The firm provides fee‑based investment supervisory services alongside financial planning and retirement income planning, delivering both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management.

Its investment approach emphasizes diversification and asset allocation, using investor profiling and a signed Investment Policy Statement to align portfolios with each client's objectives and risk tolerance. Portfolios are implemented primarily with mutual funds and ETFs and may be managed directly or through third‑party platforms, including Envestnet advisor‑directed and model‑driven programs and Vanguard Personalized Indexing separate‑account management.

What is noteworthy for a firm of this size is the combination of a client newsletter (a quarterly periodical sent to clients and prospects) and an affiliation with a related registered adviser, Guidance Point Retirement Services (GPRS), which shares investment adviser representatives under a written fee‑sharing arrangement that the brochure discloses as a potential conflict. The firm also coordinates management and fee/reporting across multiple platform providers (e.g., Envestnet and VPI), resulting in separate sub‑adviser reporting and operational details clients should understand.

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.

Find your advisor

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
