About

Schaper, Benz & Wise Investment Counsel provides discretionary portfolio management and related financial planning to high‑net‑worth individuals and families as well as foundations, pension and profit sharing plans and corporations, and it also offers Family Wealth Counsel services that include retirement, tax, charitable and estate planning and fiduciary trustee advising. The firm manages equity, fixed income and money market strategies and may provide standalone financial planning or administrative services to clients.

The firm’s investment process is fundamentally driven and research‑oriented: in‑house analysts perform comprehensive fundamental analysis, including on‑site meetings with company management, and use discounted cash flow and dividend discount models to estimate intrinsic value; typical equity portfolios are diversified across roughly 40–50 holdings with low turnover. Fixed income portfolios emphasize principal preservation through laddered maturities and are often held to maturity, and an internal investment committee conducts ongoing oversight and at least annual formal reviews of client accounts.

SBW discloses performance information and publicly reports assets under management (approximately $1.74 billion as of December 31, 2025), a disclosure practice that is less common for firms in its peer group. The firm is employee‑owned (founded in 1992) and supplements portfolio management with family‑focused fiduciary and private foundation administration, has formal procedures for IPO allocations, and uses a third‑party service to monitor and file securities class‑action claims on clients’ behalf.

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
