About
Investment Consulting Services, LLC provides financial planning, investment management, wealth management, and retirement plan consulting to high‑net‑worth individuals and employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm operates primarily in an advisory capacity and reported $0 in discretionary assets under management and $4.7 billion in assets under advisement as of December 31, 2024.
The firm’s investment process is built around Modern Portfolio Theory and asset allocation, using a blend of passive and active fund selections, mutual fund/ETF and collective investment trust analysis, and tools such as cyclical and charting analysis in its research. For retirement plans, ICS offers both non‑discretionary fiduciary consulting (ERISA 3(21)) and discretionary fiduciary services (ERISA 3(38)), including IPS development, DIAs/QDIAs selection, model allocation construction, and ongoing monitoring.
Compared with many peers, ICS serves a very small, concentrated client base (six clients) while advising on a large dollar value of assets, reflecting a focus on high‑value plan and HNW relationships rather than serving non‑HNW individual clients. The firm is fee‑only, does not accept sales commissions or participate in wrap programs, relies on an institutional Schwab custodial platform for execution and reporting, and implements trades on an individual‑account basis rather than aggregated block trading.

Advisors at this firm
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.
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
