About

Marks Wealth Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients and also accepts engagements from trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm provides comprehensive wealth management services that combine financial planning, consulting and discretionary portfolio management.

The firm principally constructs globally allocated portfolios that lean on exchange-traded funds, while also using mutual funds and individual securities in limited circumstances; it practices active portfolio management with the stated goal of outperforming benchmarks and employs both fundamental and technical analysis. MWM tailors strategies to client risk tolerance and planning needs, may use margin for liquidity purposes, and can advise on held‑away assets such as annuities and employer retirement plan holdings.

Notable characteristics include that all reported assets are managed on a discretionary basis and the firm accepts standing letters of authorization and direct fee debits from client custodial accounts. MWM relies on Schwab’s institutional platform for custody, trading and substantial software and support benefits (including funds for third‑party services), a relationship the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest that clients should consider when evaluating custodian choices.

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.
