About
Investment Initiatives, LLC provides fee-only advisory services to individuals and high-net-worth clients as well as a range of institutional and nonprofit clients, including banks and thrift institutions, credit unions, private foundations, charitable organizations, and pension or profit-sharing plans. Its services include ongoing portfolio management, pension consulting (including for 401(k) plans), and financial planning tailored to each client’s goals and circumstances.
The firm develops written Investment Policy Statements and offers both discretionary and non-discretionary management, constructing portfolios using exchange-traded funds, equities, bonds, certificates of deposit, mutual funds and other securities. Its investment process combines fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and may employ options and margin transactions as part of its strategies, with client risk tolerances documented and reviewed regularly.
Compared with many independent advisers, Initiatives’ client mix notably includes banking institutions, charitable organizations and pension plans and it provides ongoing pension consulting rather than only individual wealth management. The firm manages client assets internally rather than selecting third-party advisers, and its combination of in-house pension work with active trading tools (options and margin) and technical analysis distinguishes its approach from many peers.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
