About

Novem Group provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning to a wide range of clients, including individual and high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and state or municipal government entities. The firm also sponsors a wrap fee program and may refer clients to third‑party money managers as part of its service offerings.

Investment advice is delivered under written Investment Policy Statements, with discretionary authority available and regular account monitoring; the firm uses fundamental, cyclical, and technical analysis and implements long‑term, short‑term, and options trading across mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income, REITs, and insurance products such as annuities. Novem Group discloses that its representatives may be registered with affiliated broker‑dealers or advisory firms and licensed as insurance agents, and it documents conflicts when recommending commissionable products or accepting fee‑sharing from third‑party managers.

Distinctive elements in the brochure include explicit relationships with other investment advisers and the inclusion of state and municipal clients, and the firm’s practice of directing clients to third‑party managers for which it receives negotiated fee shares. The brochure also describes operational features — use of Schwab custodial services and related support, Osaic transaction review tools, block trading capability, and sponsorship of a wrap program — and discloses the attendant conflicts of interest associated with those arrangements.

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
