About
The firm provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and financial planning primarily to individual clients, managing roughly $13.7 million across about two dozen client relationships. It offers ongoing portfolio management and standalone planning or consulting engagements and does not require a minimum account size.
Investment advice is tailored to each client’s stated objectives and documented in an investment policy or risk-tolerance statement, with account reviews performed at least quarterly. The firm uses a mix of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and may implement a range of strategies from long-term buy-and-hold to trading and option writing, including covered and uncovered option strategies.
Noteworthy features include a long-tenured, CFP‑certified principal with decades of industry experience who also maintains active insurance licensure and devotes a portion of time to offering insurance products — a relationship disclosed as a potential conflict of interest. The brochure also discloses that the firm does not vote client proxies (clients receive and vote their own proxies) and that it manages a relatively small client roster, which may result in more concentrated advisor attention compared with larger 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
