About

The firm provides discretionary asset management and financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates and business entities, and also acts as a 3(21) advisor for employer retirement plans. It reports approximately $147.5 million in discretionary assets under management across several hundred client relationships and offers ongoing portfolio monitoring, investment selection and plan-level fiduciary support.

Investment decisions draw on a mix of fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and are implemented on a discretionary basis consistent with each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. Uncommonly for a firm of this size, it offers a performance-fee option for qualified clients (generally accounts with at least $1.1 million managed or specified net worth), charging a reduced asset fee plus a 10% performance fee above a high-water mark, with performance fees calculated annually and billed in arrears.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is the use of performance-based fees alongside traditional percentage-of-AUM billing, a structure that the firm discloses can create side-by-side conflicts and that it says it seeks to mitigate through procedures and oversight. The advisory team also has affiliated insurance and other professional activities that generate outside compensation and ancillary benefits from its custodian relationships (including access to research and platform services); those relationships and the potential conflicts are disclosed in the brochure.

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
