About

Stillwater Private Wealth describes its clients as individuals, families, business owners and employer plan sponsors, and it offers wealth management, standalone financial consulting, and retirement plan advisory services (with retirement plan work provided under a Section 3(21) ERISA designation). Although registered as an investment manager, the firm’s initial SEC filing reports no assets under management and a single advisory professional; the brochure also indicates advisory compensation is based on AUM, which is common for firms in this category.

The firm provides discretionary portfolio management and ongoing portfolio construction, monitoring and rebalancing across a broad investable universe that includes stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, REITs, options and alternative investments, and it may access third‑party independent managers through a Charles Schwab program. It reports using both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods (including modern portfolio theory and charting) to inform allocations and allows clients to impose investment restrictions when appropriate.

Noteworthy aspects for prospective institutional or pooled‑vehicle clients include its start‑up status with a single, long‑tenured CFP‑designated principal serving as the firm’s compliance officer and sole supervisor, and the firm’s disclosure that it may receive insurance commissions and non‑monetary benefits from custodians and vendors. The brochure also discloses operational details that differ from some peers — it may report custody where clients have standing letters of authorization (SLOAs), it does not vote client proxies (clients retain that responsibility), and it does not offer performance‑based fee arrangements.

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.
