About
The firm offers fee-only financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, couples, and families, focusing on tying investment decisions to retirement, cash flow, estate and legacy goals. Engagements include initial and ongoing financial planning and implementation of the agreed Investment Policy using institutional-class mutual funds.
Investment decisions are guided by academic research emphasizing long-term equity exposure, broad diversification, low cost, and rebalancing; portfolios are implemented primarily with academically engineered mutual funds and are managed on a discretionary basis with periodic reviews and quarterly performance reporting. The firm tailors an Investment Policy to each client’s goals, risk tolerance and cash flow needs, and uses that policy as the basis for portfolio construction and monitoring.
Distinctive features include the firm’s reliance on restricted institutional funds (notably Dimensional Fund Advisors), which can limit additional purchases or require liquidation if a client transfers to a non‑approved advisor — a practical transfer risk that is less common among peers. The firm is a long-standing solo registered adviser managing over $100 million, generally requires a $2 million minimum to start an engagement, and maintains a formal succession agreement with another advisory firm for continuity in the event of the principal’s death or disability.

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
