About

Hapanowicz Financial provides fee‑based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as retirement plan sponsors and plan participants. Services include discretionary asset management delivered through the firm’s Hapanowicz SWIM (Strategic Wealth Investment Management) program, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting and participant advice.

The firm constructs individualized asset allocations and manages client accounts on a discretionary basis through LPL Financial’s SWM platform, using a blend of strategic and tactical asset allocation and model mutual‑fund portfolios to align investments with clients’ risk tolerance, liquidity needs and time horizons. Accounts are managed under specific SWIM1/SWIM2 structures that distinguish how trading costs are handled, and the firm’s investment committee conducts ongoing portfolio review and monitoring.

Compared with many peers, Hapanowicz discloses participation in both wrap fee and non‑wrap fee programs and explicitly offers participant educational presentations and group enrollment meetings for plan participants. The brochure also notes multiple recordkeeping and platform relationships (including Vanguard, Empower, ADP, American Funds and Human Interest), a recommended household minimum guideline of $1,000,000 (with a $300,000 exception for family members), and a material retirement‑plan asset base within its total assets under management.

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.
