About

Mariner Independent (Mariner Platform Solutions) serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. Through a network of 119 investment adviser representatives, the firm provides financial planning, portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, coordinated tax support, insurance solutions and access to alternative investments.

IARs work with clients using firm‑built model portfolios supported by in‑house resources and third‑party managers, or by creating customized discretionary portfolios they manage directly. The firm implements a broad set of investment tools — mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income, plus options, structured notes, direct indexing, digital assets and allocations to alternative and commodity strategies via platforms such as SEI, AssetMark and CAIS.

What distinguishes Mariner from many multi‑team advisers is its range of affiliated businesses: it is linked with a state‑chartered trust company (Mariner Trust Company) and an institutional pension consulting affiliate (Mariner Institutional) and offers a Pathway DC solution that can include 3(38) fiduciary support. These affiliations and its use of affiliated and third‑party managers give clients integrated access to custody, retirement plan consulting and alternative/commodity channels; the firm discloses and monitors the resulting conflicts of interest in its brochure.

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.

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
