About

Ascend Investment Management, LLC provides personalized financial planning and investment management services primarily to individual clients, and also serves trusts, estates, retirement plans, small businesses, and charitable organizations. The firm manages a small client base (27 clients, approximately $1.53 million in assets) and delivers written financial plans, ongoing portfolio oversight, and occasional consulting engagements.

The adviser combines fundamental and technical analysis to construct portfolios of stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs, with a focus on large-cap equity selection and tactical shifts to bond or money‑market positions when market signals indicate. Accounts are monitored daily and are predominantly managed on a discretionary basis; the firm also leverages third‑party model managers (Morningstar Investment Services and Zacks) to provide additional strategy options and centralized reporting.

A notable feature is an affiliated insurance business through which the firm’s representatives may recommend and sell insurance products for commission, a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict and for which clients are not required to engage firm-affiliated agents. The firm also offers public educational seminars and workshops — an outreach uncommon for similarly sized independent advisers — and uses subadvisors and custodial reporting to broaden strategy access while operating as a small, education-focused practice.

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.
