About

Investment Partners Asset Management is a SEC-registered advisory firm that provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), business entities, trusts, estates, and pension or profit-sharing plans. The firm manages roughly $333 million in client assets and also provides assets-under-advisement services for employer-sponsored plans.

The firm implements a range of strategies across individual equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, and may use both fundamental and technical analysis with a generally value-oriented bias. It also employs more complex instruments and strategies for client accounts when suitable — including options (covered calls and other options strategies), structured notes, inverse products, and derivatives within separately managed allocations — and uses third‑party platforms and independent managers for held-away accounts and specialized mandates.

Notable distinctions include an affiliate that operates as a licensed insurance agency and the presence of licensed insurance agents among affiliated personnel, a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also discloses the use of endorsements in its advertising and documents one-off additional economic benefits from third parties, practices that are less common among similarly sized team firms.

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.

Find your advisor

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
