About

Savvy provides investment and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), associated trusts and estates, businesses, ERISA plan sponsors, and charitable organizations. Offerings include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio and wealth management, financial planning and consulting, fiduciary and non‑fiduciary retirement plan services, direct indexing, covered‑call strategies, and support for held‑away assets.

The firm builds customized investment plans based on each client’s objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon and typically employs a primarily index‑based, long‑term approach while also offering active equity portfolios and tax‑aware direct indexing. Savvy uses third‑party sub‑advisers and technology platforms — for example, a sub‑adviser that implements a box‑spread options financing strategy and a third‑party platform to monitor and rebalance held‑away accounts — and integrates quantitative tools and proactive tax‑harvesting where applicable.

Distinctive features include ownership by a technology parent that also owns the software platform Savvy uses, the firm’s integration of third‑party fintech tools and specialized sub‑adviser strategies, and an in‑house tax preparation offering and estate‑planning support delivered through unaffiliated platforms. The firm also documents use of external research resources (including financial newsletters and periodicals) and discloses paid marketing and endorsement arrangements with third‑party promoters and endorsers.

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
