About

Polaris Wealth Management provides advisory services to individual investors and retirement plan clients, offering ongoing portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, and pension consulting. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees for ongoing management and also offers periodic educational seminars and workshops for retirement‑plan clients at no charge.

The firm documents client goals and risk tolerances in a tailored Investment Policy Statement and typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis, applying modern portfolio theory to guide asset allocation and monitoring accounts regularly. Portfolio implementation can include a wide range of instruments — mutual funds, ETFs (including precious‑metal ETFs), fixed income, annuities, private placements and venture capital — and strategies such as long‑ and short‑term trading, margin and options.

Polaris’s supervised persons also operate in brokerage and insurance capacities; the brochure discloses registrations as broker‑dealer representatives and licensed insurance agents (including activity through Polaris Insurance Agency) and describes procedures to disclose and document the resulting conflicts of interest. The firm’s combination of retirement‑plan consulting with free educational workshops, its use of commissionable product channels alongside adviser services, and operational choices such as not aggregating block trades and permitting client‑directed brokerage distinguish it from many peers.

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.
