About

Midwest Heritage Financial Advisors is a registered investment adviser operating as a separately identifiable department of Midwest Heritage Bank, FSB, that provides investment advice and financial planning to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm manages roughly $398.7 million in discretionary client assets across its team and offers investment management, retirement and tax planning, estate planning, and advice on insurance and other financial matters.

The firm describes itself as a “total portfolio” manager using an active, diversified approach called Strategy Diversification, tailoring allocations to client objectives and employing fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis across mutual funds, ETFs, options, and structured notes. Accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis, custody is directed to Charles Schwab & Co., and clients may also engage the firm for hourly or flat-fee planning in addition to percentage-of-AUM management.

Midwest Heritage is notable for its bank ownership and an affiliated insurance agency (Midwest Heritage Services, L.L.C.), and for participating in Osaic Wealth, Inc.’s hybrid RIA program under which certain employees also act as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents. The brochure discloses the resulting commission arrangements and potential production incentives from Osaic, and describes supervisory controls — including a chief compliance officer and firm policies — as mitigation, while stating advisors are not permitted to earn commissions on products held in advisory accounts.

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
