About

The firm provides customized, goals‑based financial planning and discretionary portfolio management primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, integrating planning with ongoing wealth management. It manages approximately $57.4 million in discretionary client assets across roughly 180 client relationships and does not require a minimum account size to engage.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes fundamental analysis supplemented by technical analysis and uses strategic and tactical asset allocation across equities, mutual funds, exchange‑traded funds, municipal and investment‑grade bonds, with adjustments for special situations (for example, low‑basis stock or legacy holdings). Portfolio management is typically discretionary, with ongoing monitoring and at least annual formal reviews, and financial planning services are provided as part of the advisory engagement.

Distinctive features include dual registration of the firm’s investment advisor representatives as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer, which means those representatives may earn brokerage commissions for non‑advisory (brokerage) business, and the firm discloses and documents those potential conflicts. The firm also maintains paid solicitor/referral arrangements and has representatives who are licensed insurance agents (one representative may devote up to 30% of their workweek to insurance sales), with separate insurance commissions disclosed to clients and not automatically offset against advisory fees.

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.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
