About

Springwater Advisors, LLC is a small advisory firm managing roughly $114.5 million in discretionary assets for about 40 clients with a two‑adviser team. It provides comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management and portfolio consulting for individuals, families, small businesses and charitable organizations, and offers access to third‑party sub‑managers through a sub‑managed client program.

The firm implements customized asset allocation across cash, equities and fixed income and draws on fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis; its stated strategies can include short‑term trading, option writing and alternative investments where appropriate. Springwater generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, conducts quarterly account reviews, and performs ongoing due diligence of any third‑party managers it places client assets with.

Springwater is notable for its affiliated business structure: it is affiliated with a broker‑dealer, an investment‑advisory affiliate and an insurance agency, and clears certain transactions through its affiliated broker‑dealer relationship with a national custodian. Those affiliations create potential conflicts of interest identified in the brochure — including shared transaction and distribution arrangements and insurance commissions — which the firm says it addresses through disclosure, supervisory procedures and a written code of ethics.

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.
