About

SageGuard Financial Group, LLC provides investment supervisory services, financial planning, and subadviser services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. The firm’s representatives also conduct educational seminars and workshops that are presented as general, no‑charge events and used to introduce the firm to prospective clients.

SageGuard documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management, with the ADV showing approximately $200 million managed on a discretionary basis and $555.7 million managed non‑discretionarily as of December 2025. Its investment approach combines strategic and tactical asset allocation across model portfolios (Sage Series 1–5 and the Sage 50) and a range of sleeves that include buffered ETFs, covered‑call and dividend ETFs, structured notes, commodities, REITs, and alternative investments.

Compared with many peers, SageGuard’s portfolio mix is distinctive for being primarily non‑discretionary and for formally offering public educational workshops as part of its client development. The firm has also added subadviser services, discloses that some representatives are licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions on insurance sales, and uses Charles Schwab Institutional as its custodian while charging a modest annual technology/administrative fee.

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
