About

JMG Financial Group advises individuals, trusts, retirement plans, business entities and charitable organizations, delivering comprehensive wealth management, portfolio management, and, when requested, separate financial and retirement consulting. The firm also provides in‑house tax consulting and tax preparation services and advises clients on private investment fund opportunities.

JMG describes a planning-based, long-term investment approach implemented through a repeatable four-step process (client analysis, portfolio design, investment selection and ongoing management) and emphasizes strategic asset allocation with tactical shifts approved by an investment committee. Portfolios draw from ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities, fixed income, separately managed accounts and, for eligible clients, private and alternative investments, with tax-aware techniques, sub‑advisors and options strategies used where appropriate.

A number of operational features distinguish JMG from many peers: it offers held‑away account management via a third‑party platform that permits review and rebalancing of outside retirement accounts without transfer authority, maintains account aggregation tools that show excluded assets, and operates a separate combined-services arrangement for Schwab‑referred clients. The firm also relies on sponsor-provided valuations for private funds, discloses use of sub‑advisors and options strategies, and notes governance and custody considerations (including trustee roles and surprise custody audits) that stem from its access to client accounts and its growth through acquisitions.

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
