About

Twin Cities Retirement Group serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, with an emphasis on those nearing or recently entering retirement. The firm provides discretionary asset management and comprehensive retirement-planning services — including Social Security benefit analysis, cash‑flow modeling, beneficiary and estate‑planning coordination — and may refer clients to independent third‑party money managers.

Investment programs are managed under a strategic asset‑allocation discipline with five risk profiles from Conservative to Aggressive and may include tactical adjustments as market conditions change. The firm’s methods of analysis include fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical approaches, and portfolios commonly use no‑load mutual funds and ETFs alongside individual securities, options, and other structured or leveraged instruments where appropriate.

The firm’s Form ADV discloses a self‑regulatory enforcement matter that resulted in an acceptance, waiver and consent and a nine‑month bar in 2009–2010 related to customer forms, which the brochure identifies as the only disciplinary history. The brochure also notes the firm offers educational seminars or workshops (an uncommon service among peers) and details referral arrangements with third‑party managers — including retention of a portion of advisory fees for referred clients — which the firm discloses to clients as a potential conflict of interest.

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
