About

Shepherd Wealth Management provides investment management, ongoing financial planning at no additional fee, and retirement plan consulting to individual and high-net-worth clients. The firm manages roughly $162 million in discretionary assets for about 430 clients and operates with a four-advisor team.

Investment programs are primarily built around Modern Portfolio Theory and passive allocations using index mutual funds and ETFs, while the firm also incorporates fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and will engage Outside Managers when appropriate. Client portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis with regular monitoring and quarterly reviews, and financial planning is integrated into the advisory relationship.

The firm’s ADV discloses that it engages independent promoters to generate client referrals and pays a portion of advisory fees to those promoters, with written Promoter Disclosure Statements provided to referred clients. The brochure and disclosures also indicate the firm uses client testimonials, endorsements, and advertises performance results in its marketing—practices that are relatively uncommon among similarly sized team advisers—and it describes its custody arrangements and authority to directly debit advisory fees.

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.
