About

Markowski Investments provides personal financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals, families, trusts, estates, fiduciaries, charitable organizations, small businesses, and retirement plans, managing roughly $473.9 million in client assets across its multi-advisor platform. The firm serves more than 1,200 clients and offers comprehensive planning analyses that address tax, retirement, and estate considerations alongside ongoing portfolio management.

The firm’s investment process combines strategic asset allocation with tactical overlays informed by fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis, generally favoring long-term holdings while making adjustments as market conditions warrant. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis, reviewed at least quarterly, and the firm may aggregate or “bunch” trades and use option strategies such as covered calls and naked puts to enhance or hedge positions.

Markowski’s business practices include several uncommon features for a firm of its size: it works with an affiliated broker-dealer (Westminster Financial Securities, Inc.), owns a separate registered investment adviser (Compass Financial Management LLC), and principals maintain broker-dealer registrations and insurance licenses, which can result in 12b-1 fees or commissions in addition to advisory fees. These affiliations and potential conflicts are disclosed in the firm’s brochure, and the firm states that clients are not required to use affiliated 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.

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
