About

RAI Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts and estates, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, and charitable organizations. Services include portfolio construction primarily using mutual funds and ETFs, retirement-plan advisory and participant education, and ongoing monitoring and review.

The firm pursues a long-term, total‑return approach implemented through strategic asset allocation, quarterly rebalancing, and the use of no‑load or load‑waived mutual funds and ETFs; it also offers financial planning and ad hoc consultations tied to client objectives. RAI supplements its in‑house management with third‑party model portfolios and tax‑management tools via a model marketplace and, on a legacy basis, allocates certain client assets to unaffiliated independent managers and may employ specialized products (for example, leveraged/inverse or interval vehicles) when considered appropriate.

Notable distinctions include an ongoing affiliation with another registered investment adviser that is transitioning client relationships to RAI, and continued accommodation of legacy accounts and manager arrangements from that transition. The firm also uses multiple custody platforms and participates in referral and model marketplace arrangements with outside providers, disclosures it maintains to address the resulting conflicts of interest.

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.
