About
Research & Portfolio Management advises individuals — including high‑net‑worth clients — as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and business entities, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and pension consulting. The firm reports managing approximately $160.8 million in client assets and generally charges asset‑based advisory fees for its portfolio management services.
The firm tailors strategies to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance, employing fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and using both long‑ and short‑term trading, options, and occasional margin where suitable. It also implements separately managed account solutions through Raymond James Asset Management Services (RJ AMS) for some clients and provides ongoing monitoring and rebalancing of portfolios.
A distinctive feature is that some associated persons hold life and health insurance licenses and may sell annuities and life insurance, receiving commission compensation separate from the firm’s advisory fees, a practice the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also offers ERISA plan consulting and participant education while acting as a non‑discretionary fiduciary for plans and relies on Raymond James custodial and billing arrangements that permit advisory fees to be deducted directly from client accounts.

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
