About
Lakeside serves individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as trusts, estates, corporations and retirement plans, providing discretionary portfolio management, non‑discretionary ERISA plan advice, financial planning and targeted consulting. The firm delivers ongoing investment management alongside written planning reports or topical consulting engagements as requested.
The investment process is active and combines fundamental and technical analysis to construct individualized portfolios across three main strategies: laddered fixed income, balanced allocations and equity‑oriented holdings; mutual funds or ETFs are used where they provide diversified access to specialized sectors. Portfolios may employ a range of implementation tools — including options, margin and short sales when appropriate — and are reviewed on a regular schedule with at least annual client meetings.
Notable differences from many peers include a compact, three‑advisor team managing several hundred million in assets, and a custody arrangement with a large national custodian while routinely “trading away” to access specialty fixed‑income markets. The firm also does not proactively recommend rollovers from employer retirement plans to IRAs, outsources class‑action claim filing to a third‑party vendor that takes a recovery share, and has an advisor who maintains insurance agent activities and may receive commissions for insurance products.

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
