About

The firm provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, corporations, and broker-dealers’ customers. Services include written or electronic financial plans, ongoing portfolio management through its “Vision to Wealth” process, and investment consulting for brokerage customers who have written agreements.

Investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and an evidence‑ or factor‑based philosophy, with most client portfolios constructed largely or exclusively from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) mutual funds and ETFs. The firm manages accounts on a discretionary basis, uses third‑party tools such as Holistiplan for tax‑efficiency and planning, and may implement strategies that include long‑ and short‑term trades, options, margin, and fee‑based insurance products when appropriate.

Notable differences from many peers include a relatively large asset base managed by a small advisor team and an explicit, ongoing reliance on DFA funds — including required participation in DFA educational programs to maintain access — which the firm acknowledges can limit its fund‑family universes. The brochure also discloses a 2022 FINRA settlement related to prior recordkeeping issues and notes that some representatives are licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions; the firm reports having strengthened compliance and recordkeeping procedures since that event and also reports limited custody arrangements where clients have authorized electronic transfers.

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
