About

Lifetime Financial, Inc. advises individual and high‑net‑worth clients, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management across in‑house and third‑party money‑manager platforms, cash management programs, alternative investment consulting, and 3(38) fiduciary services for employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm describes a client intake process that gathers goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and financial circumstances and provides ongoing account review, generally at least annually.

LFI typically places client assets on specific investment platforms and uses third‑party sub‑advisors (for example, Daviman, Synergy, and Turner) to implement strategies, and it states it does not rely on model portfolios but develops individualized recommendations. The brochure lists methods of analysis such as mutual fund/ETF review, charting, technical and fundamental analysis, and treats cash and cash equivalents as a distinct asset class when managing accounts.

What is noteworthy is the firm’s affiliation with an insurance agency and a real‑estate brokerage under common ownership and the principal’s licensure as an insurance agent and real‑estate/mortgage broker, a relationship the brochure discloses as potentially creating conflicts of interest when insurance or real‑estate services are recommended. The firm also highlights a focus on alternative and private real‑estate investments (including DSTs and sponsor‑sourced offerings) and discloses that it facilitates sponsor relationships and receives compensation from some sponsors and third‑party managers, while noting those managers generally do not provide financial planning or related services.

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.

Find your advisor

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.
