About

Mraz and Associates provides financial planning, consulting, and discretionary investment management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as to retirement plans and other institutional entities; the firm also offers participant education and can serve in ERISA fiduciary roles for plans. As of early 2026 the firm reported approximately $917 million in assets under management and notes a $1,000,000 account minimum that it may waive in its discretion.

The firm follows a disciplined, value‑oriented investment process that combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and uses both internally constructed portfolios and third‑party model portfolios with ongoing supervision and periodic review. Mraz and Associates also assists clients with planning topics that include securities‑backed lines of credit (SBLOCs), discloses the conflicts and specific risks associated with those loans, and may recommend outside managers or models for portions of client assets.

Distinctive aspects of the firm include a relatively small advisory team (five advisors) managing nearly $1 billion in discretionary AUM, and explicit new disclosures about political risk, AI risk, and cybersecurity. The brochure also discloses use of AI tools for service delivery and meeting transcription (with an opt‑out available) and describes custodial relationships and custodian‑provided services that could create conflicts of interest.

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
