About

Luedtke serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), businesses, and retirement plans, providing portfolio management, financial planning, selection of third‑party asset managers, and ERISA plan advisory services. Clients have access to a broad range of securities and insurance-based products, which can be implemented through firm-managed accounts, third‑party model portfolios, or TPAM programs.

The firm generally provides discretionary management guided by individualized financial profiles and risk tolerances, and it uses third‑party strategists and model portfolios to implement and rebalance strategies; certain personalized indexing strategies also accommodate tax‑loss harvesting. Operationally, Luedtke outsources custody and fee‑billing and employs third‑party platforms (including a TPAM arrangement) to centralize execution, reporting, and administrative functions.

What is distinctive is the scale of assets and client relationships relative to its advisor footprint — roughly $248 million in regulatory AUM and about 470 client accounts, with most assets managed on a discretionary basis — which is atypical for similarly supported firms. The firm also maintains a formal relationship with DPL, an insurance‑networking platform that limits carrier selection and results in advisory compensation related to insurance products, a disclosed structural conflict of interest compared with many peers.

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.
