About
Lewis M. Wallensky provides financial planning and consulting services to individual clients, offering written comprehensive plans and targeted advice on topics such as retirement, estate, tax, insurance and cash‑flow. The firm also assists clients in identifying and monitoring third‑party money managers and makes generic investment and insurance recommendations across a range of securities and insurance products.
The firm's process is consultative: it collects client information through in‑depth interviews and documentation, delivers written plans, and typically does not provide ongoing discretionary portfolio management directly. Instead, Lewis M. Wallensky evaluates independent registered investment advisers, develops a personal investment policy statement for clients, and monitors selected third‑party managers as part of its selection and oversight services.
Distinctive features for this firm versus many peers include that its advisers are registered representatives of LPL Financial and are licensed insurance agents, and the brochure discloses that commissions and insurance compensation represent a substantial portion of the firm's revenue. The firm also receives a percentage of fees from selected third‑party managers and reported no client assets under its own discretionary or non‑discretionary management as of the date disclosed, and it describes policies to disclose and manage the resulting conflicts of interest.

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
