About

Paladin Wealth serves individual investors — including high-net-worth clients — and retirement plans, providing discretionary asset management, one-time and ongoing financial planning, and ERISA 3(21) plan advisory services. The firm manages roughly $196 million for about 494 clients and also supports client-directed accounts and third‑party reporting through outsourced platforms.

Its investment process is tailored to client goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances and draws on fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis; portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis with regular monitoring and quarterly reviews. The firm uses third‑party solutions and model portfolios (including an outsourced portfolio program and co‑advisor model relationships) alongside traditional buy/hold, trading, and options strategies as appropriate.

Paladin Wealth is notable for several uncommon structural relationships: principals and representatives maintain affiliations with a broker‑dealer, an insurance agency, and other affiliated advisory and service entities, and the firm shares in fees from certain third‑party managers. The firm also discloses receipt of non‑cash benefits and occasional third‑party support for client events and marketing (including use of endorsements/sponsorships), arrangements the brochure identifies as potential conflicts that the firm says it manages through disclosures and procedures.

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.
