About

Western Growers Financial Services, Inc. provides investment management and comprehensive financial planning to individuals (including professionals, pre-retirees and retirees), trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and businesses. The firm reports about 281 clients, roughly $115.6 million in regulatory assets under management, and a three-advisor team, and offers portfolio management, manager selection, and written financial plans while accepting smaller accounts with no formal account minimum.

The firm develops client-specific investment policies using fundamental analysis (with some technical inputs), recommends a mix of individual securities, mutual funds, and other instruments, and monitors accounts at least quarterly. It offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary services and frequently places or monitors clients with independent registered advisers; as disclosed, approximately $21.23 million is managed on a discretionary basis versus about $94.35 million managed non‑discretionarily.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its dual registration and product mix: it operates as a state-registered investment adviser and a FINRA-member broker‑dealer that clears through Pershing LLC, and its representatives are also registered broker-dealer agents and licensed insurance producers. That structure means the firm may receive brokerage commissions and insurance-related compensation separate from advisory fees, and the brochure discloses how those revenue sources and occasional fee offsets are handled and monitored as potential conflicts of interest.

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.
