About

TorchLight Financial provides comprehensive wealth management and standalone financial planning to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, combining ongoing portfolio management with broad financial planning and consultation. The firm also offers customized educational workshops and presentations for employers and community groups; these sessions are educational in nature, may be sponsor‑paid or fee‑based, and do not involve product sales.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation and long‑term, research‑driven portfolio construction, generally using low‑cost exchange‑traded funds and mutual funds to implement passive strategies tailored to each client’s goals, risk tolerance, and tax considerations. Advice is personalized and coordinated with other advisors as needed, with regular reviews and adjustments informed by public research, modeling tools, and client updates.

Distinctive aspects include the routine delivery of group financial‑education programs — an offering that is relatively uncommon among comparable independent advisors — and the firm’s use of a third‑party insurance platform to facilitate annuity placements because the firm itself is not insurance licensed. The registered fiduciary status and a CFP‑credentialed principal guide its practices, and the firm coordinates annuity or insurance solutions through the DPL/Johnstone platform when such products are appropriate for clients.

Torchlight Financial

Hello! I’m Laura Seymour, the founder of TorchLight Financial. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner and truly enjoy working with clients transitioning into retirement or already retired. I’ve been working in the financial planning industry since 2007 and founded TorchLight in 2011. I have worked with hundreds of clients over the last 15 years to navigate the path to retirement as well as general financial considerations. It is my goal to use clear language versus “financial terms” to help people understand concepts and considerations related to financial choices. By offering comprehensive advice as well as ongoing investment management, I can truly know you and become a trusted partner in your decisions and journey. I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Minnesota (near Willmar) with loving parents who may not have had a lot of money but really stressed personal responsibility and integrity. I value authentic, genuine relationships with people and am grateful for clients who have trusted me to help them with their financial decisions. Travel and cycling are my non-work passions. Shannon, my life partner, and I traveled to Ireland (he’s 100% Irish!) in March 2023. We have experienced Maui, Puerto Vallarta, and Turks & Caicos. Up next: Europe in the fall (2024) and a Tour de France trip in 2025. Leading a weekly women’s cycling group and logging as many miles on my Bianchi Infinito as possible is one of my favorite summertime activities in Minnesota.

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.
