About

The Menard Financial Group provides investment advisory, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting to individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as institutional plan sponsors. The firm delivers portfolio management primarily through a sponsored wrap fee program and also offers standalone planning and consulting engagements.

Portfolios are managed using a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative and sector analysis and constructed with asset‑allocation, duration management, and both long‑ and short‑term trading strategies. The firm uses separately managed accounts and discloses the use of margin, options and other derivatives in client accounts where appropriate, and it conducts periodic rebalancing and manager due diligence.

Noteworthy features relative to peers include an unusually high level of assets per advisor (roughly $335 million across two advisors) and the firm’s role as a wrap fee program sponsor. The firm is also affiliated with an insurance business and offers fee‑based and fee‑only variable annuity management through a third‑party annuity custodian, with insurance sales by firm-affiliated agents disclosed as potential conflicts.

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
