About

The firm provides non-discretionary direct asset management and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals, trusts, and employer-sponsored plans. It also offers limited-scope ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services for qualified retirement plans, including investment policy development, investment option monitoring, and participant education.

The firm operates primarily on a non-discretionary basis, making investment recommendations and obtaining client approval before executing trades, and commonly places client assets on third‑party platforms and manager programs (for example, Orion Portfolio Solutions, GeoWealth, and other TPMs) where it serves as co-adviser or liaison. It uses a mix of fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis, conducts periodic account reviews and rebalancing, and discloses that it receives referral fees and may share in third‑party manager fees and incentive arrangements.

Notable distinctions from many peers include an affiliated insurance business run by the firm’s principal — disclosed as an outside activity that may generate commission compensation — and a business model in which virtually all reported assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis while the firm provides pension consulting services. As of March 31, 2026 the firm reported approximately $4.9 million in non‑discretionary assets under management across 24 clients.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
