About
Palomar Advisors provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations and corporations. The firm highlights services for sponsored retirement plans, including plan design, fiduciary support, benchmarking and participant education, and it advises on rollovers and IRA arrangements.
Portfolios are tailored to clients’ stated goals and risk tolerance and are actively managed across a broad set of securities (individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and fixed income), with ongoing review and rebalancing. For retirement accounts the firm acknowledges and operates under ERISA/IRC fiduciary standards for rollover advice and discloses the economic conflicts that can arise from such recommendations.
Palomar reports approximately $76 million in discretionary assets under management with four advisors serving 28 clients, a concentration that suggests relatively large, relationship-driven engagements rather than many small retail accounts. The brochure also discloses that some personnel are licensed insurance agents and the firm is under common control with an insurance agency, and that it pays solicitors for referrals—conflicts the firm says it discloses and manages.

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
