About

Point Windward Advisors serves individual and high-net-worth investors as well as pension plans and other entities, offering discretionary portfolio management, annuity oversight, and complimentary financial planning. The firm manages accounts through personalized investment strategies and also provides specialized annuity management relationships with third-party platforms for clients who hold insurance products.

The firm employs a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis and implements both long-term and short-term trading strategies, including options, short sales and margin transactions when appropriate to client objectives. Portfolio managers have individual investment philosophies and accounts are monitored continuously with formal reviews at least quarterly.

Point Windward is notable among similar team firms for directing trades to an affiliated broker-dealer and for having multiple offices, with many employees dually registered and involved in brokerage and insurance activities; these arrangements can affect how trades are executed and how employees are compensated. The firm’s practice of using borrowing in managed accounts and its explicit annuity-service relationships with third-party networks are also less common features for firms of this size.

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.
