About

Northwest Asset Management serves individuals—including high‑net‑worth clients—along with pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and other institutional clients. The firm offers customized investment management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), retirement and financial planning, consulting, tax preparation, and sub‑advisory/back‑office services through its RIA Innovations division.

Investment strategies are built around strategic asset allocation and Modern Portfolio Theory, using diversified ETFs, mutual funds, and, where appropriate, individual securities and fixed‑income instruments, with periodic rebalancing to target allocations. The firm acts as a fiduciary for retirement accounts, may engage outside portfolio managers, and supplements execution for certain fixed‑income trades by using electronic marketplaces such as Insperex.

Distinctive operational features include an affiliation with a state‑chartered National Fiduciary Trust, which creates referral arrangements and potential conflicts the firm discloses and says clients may decline; the firm also discloses platform arrangements (for example, Ethic/State Street fee‑waiver incentives) that may influence fund selection. Northwest’s provision of sub‑advisory and comprehensive back‑office services to other RIAs, plus in‑house tax preparation and prior sponsorship of a wrap program, further distinguish its service mix from many peers.

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
