About

Lake Hills Wealth Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, qualified retirement plans, foundations and other institutions. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported $206,898,245 in assets under management across 742 accounts and maintains a $1,000,000 account minimum that may be waived in certain circumstances.

The firm combines fundamental, modern portfolio theory, technical and cyclical analysis to run five core model portfolios and routinely adjusts equity exposure based on a basket of economic and technical indicators. Portfolio construction emphasizes low‑cost, liquid positions (ETFs, stocks, bonds) and quantitative/technical screening, with ongoing monitoring and rebalancing under discretionary authority and custody through Charles Schwab.

Distinctive for a firm of its size, Lake Hills uses derivatives and other instruments (including options, futures or swaps in separately managed accounts) as part of its investment toolkit and implements explicit equity caps for each model (ranging from 25% to 100%) to manage “risk on”/“risk off” shifts. The firm also supplements its internal research with third‑party research and applies quantitative back‑testing to screen individual positions before technical evaluation.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
