About

Vital Investment Management is an SEC-registered advisory firm with a five-advisor team managing roughly $284 million for a mix of individual and high-net-worth clients. The firm offers asset management (discretionary and non-discretionary), written and modular financial planning, ongoing monthly planning engagements, and pension consulting for plan sponsors and participants.

The firm follows a value-oriented, long-only core strategy combined with strategic and tactical asset allocation, including model-driven tactical overlays derived from Ned Davis Research and portfolios built primarily with ETFs and mutual funds (with occasional use of interval funds and private placement recommendations where suitable). Vital integrates planning tools such as eMoney and Holistiplan, uses a third-party platform to review and manage held-away retirement accounts, and has implemented AI tools to support research, due diligence and operational functions with human review and controls.

Compared with many peers, Vital regularly provides impersonal educational seminars and free workshops for the public, associations, family foundations and employers and explicitly includes employee communications and participant education in its pension work. The firm also engages an outside consultant for complex financial and tax planning at the firm’s expense, discloses its operational use of AI, and maintains processes for connecting and monitoring held-away plan assets — features that are less common among similar-sized team advisory firms.

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
