About

AlbanyAdvisor Group LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high net worth clients, trusts, estates, small businesses, and retirement plans. The firm offers customized portfolio management using ETFs, mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, along with standalone financial plans and consulting engagements.

AAG’s investment process combines fundamental and technical analysis to build primarily long‑term portfolios, while retaining the flexibility to trade shorter term when client objectives or market conditions warrant. The firm often manages accounts on a non‑discretionary basis — the ADV reports roughly $29.3 million in discretionary assets and about $273.5 million in non‑discretionary assets as of December 2025 — and will obtain client approval before executing trades in those relationships.

Noteworthy features in the brochure include dedicated retirement plan advisory services (provided as a 3(21) fiduciary) with IPS design, vendor analysis, participant education tracking and ERISA 404(c) assistance, which may be relevant to plan sponsors seeking outsourced fiduciary support. AAG’s advisory persons are also registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and licensed insurance professionals, and the firm maintains institutional relationships with custodians (Fidelity and Schwab) through which it receives certain technology and research benefits; these affiliations and dual‑capacity roles are disclosed 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.
