About
Scale Investment Group provides investment advisory and consulting services to individuals and to institutional clients, including corporate retirement plans and other advisers that use its sub‑advisory strategies. Services include management of qualified retirement plans, participant one‑on‑one and group advice, consulting projects such as drafting investment policy statements, and private client portfolio management using diversified investment vehicles.
The firm emphasizes low‑cost, diversified fund portfolios and combines quantitative and qualitative fund selection and ongoing monitoring, with regular quarterly reviews and written fund review reports for plan sponsors. It manages accounts on both a discretionary and non‑discretionary basis; as of 12/31/2024 it reported approximately $386,000 in discretionary assets and $3,050,000 in non‑discretionary assets, reflecting a predominance of non‑discretionary mandates.
Scale Investment Group’s profile is notable for a concentration in retirement plan work and pension consulting, including the ability to serve as either an ERISA 3(21) advisor or a 3(38) manager and to credit shareholder servicing (12b‑1) fees back to qualified plans. The firm also provides sub‑advisory services to other advisers and periodically publishes articles and contributes to financial media and its own website, an atypical level of published commentary for a small independent adviser.

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.
