About

Journey Advisory Group serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts and estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans, providing continuous portfolio management, written financial planning, and retirement plan consulting services such as investment policy statement preparation and serving as a 3(38) co-fiduciary when engaged. The firm delivers these services through individual portfolio management arrangements and separate financial planning or consulting engagements.

The firm generally implements a long-term, strategic asset allocation approach, using fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis together with portfolio construction tailored to each client’s objectives, tax considerations and liquidity needs; tax-conscious techniques such as tax-loss harvesting and limited alternative exposures are part of its toolkit. Journey reports approximately $1.65 billion in assets under management and typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis while treating legacy or non-managed assets separately.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include advising on pooled investment vehicles—its brochure explicitly lists interests in partnerships investing in real estate and in oil and gas—and operating an affiliated insurance agency, Journey Risk Solutions, to offer primarily life insurance products. The firm’s ADV also indicates use of client testimonials in advertising and documents the 2024 transfer of Herr Investment Group clients who remain on grandfathered billing arrangements, a transition detail that affects some accounts’ administration.

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
