About

New Perspectives, Inc. serves individuals, trusts, small businesses and foundations, offering financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, periodic publications and other financial consulting. The firm works with both managed accounts and non‑managed clients, providing hourly consulting engagements in addition to ongoing asset management.

The firm tailors portfolios to client objectives and risk tolerance and follows a long‑term, buy‑and‑hold orientation that emphasizes fundamental analysis for individual securities while using primarily no‑load mutual funds and ETFs for diversification. Accounts are reviewed monthly with daily monitoring of individual holdings, and the firm seeks to limit trading frequency and rebalance according to its broad economic outlook.

Noteworthy features include its longevity and scale for a small adviser—founded in 1993 and managing roughly $300 million with four advisors—and advanced professional credentials among its principals (including CFA, CIPM and a Ph.D.). The firm also publishes materials that generate book royalties, maintains board and community involvement, has no stated account minimum, and offers both discretionary management and hourly, non‑discretionary consulting, which are less common combinations among 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.
