About
Next Generation Investing provides financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), small businesses, charities, private foundations and institutional clients, and also licenses investment models to other registered investment advisers. The firm manages about $128 million for roughly 245 clients and offers written financial plans, ongoing portfolio supervision, and occasional educational workshops.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, charting, cyclical and quantitative analysis and employs long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies with periodic rebalancing. NGI uses Goldman Sachs Advisor Solutions for custody and to enable “window” trading that can reduce transaction costs, and it makes models available to other advisors through that platform.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that the advisers also act as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer, are licensed insurance agents, and principals have ownership interests in tax‑preparation/accounting businesses, which create additional sources of compensation beyond advisory fees. The firm also participates in the SmartVestor referral/advertising program and conducts fee and low‑fee seminars and workshops; these affiliations and referral arrangements are disclosed as potential 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.
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
