About

Hillcrest Financial Group provides financial planning, consulting, and discretionary investment management to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and employee benefit plans. The firm works with both high-net-worth and non‑HNW individual clients and also offers retirement-plan consulting and ERISA fiduciary services to plan sponsors.

The firm manages all client assets on a discretionary basis and constructs portfolios using Modern Portfolio Theory, blending mutual funds, ETFs, and individual securities informed by top‑down macroeconomic and bottom‑up fundamental analysis; it also uses proprietary model portfolios. Hillcrest tailors allocations to client risk tolerance and time horizon, and will advise on or manage held‑away products such as variable insurance contracts, annuities, employer‑sponsored retirement accounts, and 529 plans.

Noteworthy features include reaching roughly $568 million in discretionary AUM with a five‑advisor team after registering as an adviser in 2021, a pace that distinguishes it from many peers. The firm discloses receipt of operational, trading, and research support from recommended custodians (Fidelity and Altruist) and that some supervised persons are licensed insurance agents who may earn commissions, arrangements the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest.

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.
