About
RLS Financial Group is a small independent advisory firm that provides investment management, financial planning, portfolio design, model-portfolio implementation and hourly consulting to individuals, trusts, business owners and a range of institutional clients including retirement plans, private foundations, public charities and government entities. The firm manages client accounts on both discretionary and non-discretionary bases and offers both active and passive management alongside consulting and investment research services.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical and behavioral analysis and uses proprietary market indicators and charting to identify market “dislocations” and time entries and exits; active management is used to seek capital preservation and profit retention while passive strategies and model portfolios are also employed. Actively managed accounts are continuously monitored, and the firm requires use of a discount brokerage it selects for active portfolios while accepting discretionary authority subject to client limitations.
RLS is distinctive among peers for its affiliated pension consulting practice and the firm’s actuarial background in designing and administering retirement plans for hundreds of companies, which supports work with pension and profit-sharing plans and other institutional clients. The firm also uses performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients and offers annuity and insurance products in connection with advisory services, a combination that the firm discloses and manages for potential conflicts.

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.
