About

The Personal Wealth Coach provides fiduciary investment advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, foundations, and privately held companies, offering discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and business-planning services. The firm manages approximately $219 million in discretionary assets across roughly 230 client relationships and also advises on employer‑sponsored retirement accounts and sub‑accounts within variable contracts.

Investment management is centered on Modern Portfolio Theory: portfolios are modeled across 20+ asset classes using Markowitz optimization, with fund selection guided by Morningstar categories and ratings and a preference for mid‑cap domestic equity allocations while generally limiting growth/blend exposures. Each client receives an Investment Policy Statement and ongoing monitoring, with periodic allocation reviews (monthly/quarterly) and optimization or rebalancing when drift or valuation deviations warrant (the firm cites a ~10% drift threshold).

Compared with many peers, the firm combines a relatively small, three‑advisor team with institutional‑scale AUM and offers ancillary business services such as business valuation and equilibrium‑price analysis alongside investment management. It also routinely manages or advises on accounts held at third‑party custodians (e.g., Pershing) and provides third‑party management for variable contract sub‑accounts (e.g., Nationwide), negotiates fee/minimum arrangements on a case‑by‑case basis, and maintains a formal code of ethics and fiduciary practice.

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
