About

APS Investment Management Group provides investment advisory services to individual clients (including high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth individuals) as well as corporate and other business clients. The firm manages discretionary assets and delivers individualized portfolio management exclusively through a wrap fee program, and it also offers pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors.

The firm exercises discretionary authority over client accounts and tailors portfolios to clients’ objectives and risk tolerances, employing fundamental and technical analysis and a mix of long‑term, short‑term, and trading strategies as appropriate. It also describes conservative cash management practices for client cash balances and acknowledges ERISA fiduciary responsibilities when providing pension consulting to participant‑directed retirement plans.

Notable distinctions include an unusually high client load per advisor — roughly 557 client relationships supported by a two‑advisor team — and that the firm sponsors its own wrap fee program. The firm’s advisors are registered representatives of LPL Financial and hold insurance licenses, enabling commissionable securities and insurance sales and creating related conflicts of interest that the brochure discloses and addresses.

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.
