About

Pampel & Associates serves individuals (both high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, and provides advisory services to employee benefit plans including plan‑level advice and participant education.

Portfolios are customized following an initial discovery process and investor questionnaires, with ongoing reviews and rebalancing on a discretionary basis. The firm employs a mix of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and may use long‑term purchase strategies and covered‑call options; it notes tax efficiency is not its primary focus and recommends clients consult tax professionals.

A distinctive feature is the firm’s small, two‑advisor team managing roughly $105 million for about 255 clients while placing a clear emphasis on education — offering no‑charge public seminars and workshops as well as participant enrollment meetings and plan‑specific educational sessions. The firm also provides ancillary services such as tax preparation, bookkeeping and business administration consulting, and its advisers hold insurance licenses and may receive separate commission compensation for insurance products.

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.
