About
Mertz provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals, including portfolio management, risk assessment, estate-planning consultation, and broader financial decision-making support. It offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary managed accounts and allows clients to impose written restrictions on investments.
The firm tailors advice to clients’ stated objectives, time horizons, and risk tolerances and employs asset‑allocation frameworks alongside techniques such as dollar‑cost averaging, technical analysis, and both long‑ and short‑term purchases as appropriate. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and the firm operates through an independent custodian and brokerage platform for trade execution and custody arrangements.
The brochure discloses that Mertz may recommend and manage accounts through a wrap‑fee program, a service relatively uncommon among independent advisers. It also notes that the firm’s sole adviser holds an insurance license and may offer commissionable insurance products (disclosed as up to 30% of the adviser’s time), a potential conflict the firm addresses in its disclosures and code of ethics.

Forms ADV
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.
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
