About

WaystoneAdvisors serves individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, estates and businesses, providing discretionary investment management and financial planning. Like many supported firms, it charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees and delivers ongoing portfolio construction and supervision for individual accounts.

The firm emphasizes a long‑term, fundamental‑analysis approach to portfolio construction, generally relying on ETFs and mutual funds while using individual securities when appropriate. It often implements client strategies through unaffiliated independent managers and turnkey asset management platforms, maintaining oversight and periodic reviews of those managers’ performance.

Distinctive attributes include a small, three‑advisor team managing nearly $180 million for roughly 300 clients across multiple offices, producing a relatively high client‑to‑advisor ratio for a firm of its size and age. Operationally, Waystone requires accounts at selected custodians (including AssetMark and Fidelity), limits its custody role to fee deduction and authorized money movement, and discloses that some advisory personnel are also insurance‑licensed and may receive commissions, which the firm addresses through its Code of Ethics.

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.
