About

McAvoy Kemp Wealth Management provides tailored financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, and trusts. Services include goal-setting, cash flow and net worth analysis, estate and tax-related planning, and asset-allocation recommendations delivered on an account-by-account basis.

The firm’s investment process centers on setting target asset allocations, periodic rebalancing, and reviews that consider liquidity, risk tolerance and changing client objectives; reviews are provided quarterly or in response to material events. MKWM typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis while allowing clients to impose written investment restrictions, though the firm may decline or terminate relationships if restrictions impede proper servicing.

Notably, MKWM’s advisory representatives are also registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and some are licensed insurance agents affiliated with an affiliated insurance agency, and the brochure discloses that advisers may receive commissions for securities and insurance product sales—an arrangement the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also discloses participation in a stock-appreciation rights program tied to the broker‑dealer, a policy of not aggregating block trades, and that it does not vote client proxies, practices that differentiate it from 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.
