About

Whalen Financial provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients, managing about $223 million for roughly 391 clients with a five‑advisor team. Services include creation of individualized Investment Policy Statements, ongoing portfolio management, referral/selection of third‑party managers, and tools to manage held‑away retirement plan accounts.

The firm documents client goals and risk tolerances in an IPS and generally manages accounts under discretionary authority, applying fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory across both long‑ and short‑term trading approaches with quarterly reviews and custodian statements. Whalen Financial integrates third‑party platforms into its process — including a connection to a held‑away account platform and participation in a model‑marketplace that offers Altruist‑generated and third‑party model portfolios and tax‑management tools — and may use those models when managing client accounts.

Noteworthy distinctions disclosed in the brochure include the firm’s use of hypothetical performance illustrations in its materials, an uncommon practice among peers that warrants review of underlying assumptions and methodology. The firm also discloses multiple outside business activities — commissionable insurance sales, a separate tax/accounting business, and a publishing venture — and states those relationships and any resulting conflicts are documented for clients; it also notes there is no account minimum for its services.

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
