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.

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
