About
Vanda Advisers is an independent, sole‑proprietor advisory firm that works with individuals, couples, and employers seeking guidance on employer‑sponsored retirement plans, rollovers to self‑directed IRAs, and discretionary portfolio management for taxable and IRA accounts. The firm manages a small amount of client assets across a very limited client base and provides individualized investment advice and discretionary trading when authorized.
The firm’s investment process draws on historical returns, current market conditions, mutual fund manager experience, issuer fundamentals, and broad economic and political factors, with securities limited to mutual funds, exchange‑traded instruments, and bonds; holdings are typically intended to be held for several months or longer. Client accounts are reviewed at least monthly, and discretionary authority is used only with a signed agreement that may include client‑imposed restrictions.
Compared with many peers, Vanda Advisers operates with an unusually small client roster and lower total assets under management, and it also accepts employers specifically for 401(k) plan advice in addition to individual clients. The proprietor brings a long corporate career designing and marketing software for broker‑dealers and investment managers, serves as an unpaid treasurer managing investments for a nonprofit, does not accept performance‑based fees, and does not maintain custody of client assets.

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.
