About

The firm provides discretionary investment management and related financial and retirement planning to individual clients, including high‑net‑worth households, and also offers non‑discretionary 401(k) advisory services. It documents each engagement with an Investment Policy Statement and makes standalone portfolio review and analysis available on an hourly basis for clients who do not retain ongoing management.

Investment decisions are driven by fundamental analysis supported by external research providers and an emphasis on diversified allocations across stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, commodity funds, REITs and master limited partnership funds; the firm generally limits individual equity purchases to companies with market capitalizations above $1 billion. Portfolios are managed within target allocation ranges, monitored monthly for sector concentration and bond credit quality, and the firm considers tax implications when managing taxable accounts.

Distinctive features include principals with advanced economics training and ongoing academic and consulting roles that inform the firm’s economic research and client reporting. The firm manages its assets entirely on a discretionary basis, provides planning services to managed clients at no additional charge, and states it does not accept soft‑dollar research or products from custodians while encouraging use of a lead custodian that provides direct account data connectivity.

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.
