About

The Institute for Wealth Management advises individuals, trusts, retirement plans, charitable organizations, and other business entities, managing approximately $1.37 billion for about 803 clients through a team of 17 advisors. Services described in the brochure include financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, cash-management solutions, sub-advisory and signal-provider relationships, and access to private fund investments.

The firm’s investment process is built around an internally led Investment Committee that constructs model portfolios using a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, and offers clients a choice of firm-managed models or advisor-managed (Rep as PM) customized implementations. Its strategy slate ranges from global, ESG-oriented core portfolios to tactical sector-rotation and targeted equity and income approaches, with the committee incorporating outside consultants and occasional third‑party managers into model construction.

What distinguishes the firm from many multi-team peers is its role in pooled and private fund activities — it serves as an investment adviser to private funds and pooled vehicles, acts as a sub-advisor and signal provider to other advisers, and discloses claiming custody of private fund assets (with related surprise-audit procedures). The brochure also highlights notable business relationships and marketing arrangements (including referral programs and custodian-provided services) and discloses potential conflicts tied to affiliated fund management and outside business activities.

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
