About
Investment Management & Planning provides investment advisory and financial planning services primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, delivering portfolio management, retirement plan consulting and hourly planning/consulting engagements. The firm commonly charges percentage‑of‑AUM fees and delivers services through advisors who are registered representatives of LPL Financial.
The firm constructs tailored portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, equities and fixed‑income securities, relying on fundamental analysis, continuous account supervision and periodic rebalancing. It offers multiple LPL‑sponsored program options (including discretionary model portfolios and third‑party manager access) and sponsors a wrap fee program with choices about how transaction costs are handled; it generally seeks lower‑cost mutual fund share classes when available but may select alternatives when deemed appropriate.
Distinctive aspects include the advisers’ maintained insurance licenses and the firm’s activity as both a wrap program sponsor and as affiliated registered representatives of LPL, which allows it to offer commissionable insurance and variable‑annuity products alongside fee advisory services. That combination — a small, four‑advisor firm with integrated access to broker‑dealer program platforms and insurance distribution — creates business and compensation arrangements the firm discloses may create conflicts of interest different 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 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
