About

VanMay Wealth Management offers ongoing portfolio management and integrated financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, and business entities, tailoring Investment Policy Statements to each client's goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Services include both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, regular monitoring, and financial planning advice covering tax, retirement, insurance, estate, and college planning.

The firm applies fundamental and quantitative analysis within a modern portfolio theory framework and generally pursues long‑term trading and allocation strategies; it documents risk tolerances in written Investment Policy Statements and seeks equitable allocation of opportunities across client accounts. VanMay also uses third‑party separately managed account (SMA) strategies available through custodians—including sub‑advisers such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management with a tax overlay provider (55ip)—to implement parts of client portfolios.

Distinctive features for a small independent adviser include an affiliated insurance practice: the principal is a licensed insurance agent and co‑owns an insurance agency and may receive insurance compensation, a conflict the firm discloses and documents for clients. The firm also reports other non‑investment business interests (such as passive real estate and consulting entities), operates with a small multi‑person staff rather than as a solo practitioner, and uses custodian managed‑account platforms and disclosed prior broker affiliations that ended at its formation.

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
