About

Halter Ferguson Financial is a fee‑only advisory firm that serves individuals, families, small businesses, trusts, charitable organizations and retirement plan clients, managing about $705 million for roughly 291 clients through a six‑adviser team. The firm offers tailored financial planning and discretionary portfolio management, along with selection and monitoring of third‑party managers and advisory services to a private investment fund.

The firm’s investment process uses fundamental analysis and market research to develop a strategic asset allocation recorded in an Investment Policy Statement, after which Halter Ferguson typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis. For select clients it implements concentrated-position strategies and derivatives — including covered calls and other options use — and allocates to mutual funds, REITs, separate accounts, and private placements while conducting ongoing due diligence on outside managers.

Halter Ferguson Financial is notable for its affiliation with LumaSenti LLC and its role as investment adviser and sponsor/organizer to the private fund LumaSenseye II, a relationship that creates performance‑based fee arrangements and related allocation considerations. The firm also runs a named concentrated‑account program for clients comfortable with non‑diversified risk and uses a third‑party held‑away platform to monitor and rebalance external retirement and HSA accounts without taking custody.

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.
