About
Classified as an investment manager that typically handles pooled or institutional assets, the firm provides portfolio management and financial planning services, offering both discretionary and non‑discretionary management and preparing individualized investment policy statements. The firm’s ADV lists individuals, high‑net‑worth clients and small businesses among its client types, and it reported no assets under management as of the brochure date.
The firm’s investment process relies on quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory, using model portfolios and a mix of long‑ and short‑term trading to align holdings with clients’ risk tolerances and time horizons. It tailors advice through client interviews, ongoing monitoring, and the evaluation and recommendation of outside managers when appropriate.
Notable differences from many peers include a documented practice of offering educational workshops or seminars and an hourly fee option for planning and advisory work—features that are uncommon for firms in this category. The firm’s principal also maintains a university lecturing role and a separate consulting business, and the ADV discloses that the firm currently does not aggregate client trades and reported no client AUM, which may affect execution and operational scale compared with larger managers.

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
