About

The L. Warner Companies provides discretionary investment management and financial planning primarily to high-net-worth individuals and related trusts, estates and pension plans, and also offers consulting and administration services to corporations, non-profits and other business entities. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported approximately $802.4 million in discretionary assets under management and advised on about $264.8 million in corporate-sponsored plan assets.

The firm’s investment process is led by a chief investment officer and an analyst team that emphasizes fundamental analysis and broadly diversified portfolios across equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and select alternatives, with occasional use of options for hedging or income generation. TWC also integrates third-party platforms and strategies (including programs through Charles Schwab, Envestnet and TIAA/CREF) and provides plan-level fiduciary and administrative services such as 3(21)/3(38) oversight, plan menu design, benchmarking and participant education.

TWC’s adviser roster includes many professionals who are also registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and licensed insurance agents, and the brochure discloses that commissionable insurance products may be sold in those separate capacities and commissions may be earned. The firm’s combination of individualized HNW wealth management with institutional plan administration, use of multiple third‑party manager programs, and its affiliation with a parent company (Foundation Risk Partners) represents a hybrid operating model that is less common among multi‑team firms.

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
