About

Beach Cities Wealth Management provides individualized asset management services to individuals and high-net-worth clients, constructing portfolios that may include individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, mutual funds and other investments. The firm tailors each portfolio to client objectives, allows clients to place reasonable restrictions on holdings, and conducts at least quarterly reviews and rebalancing.

The firm emphasizes continuous account supervision and uses fundamental and cyclical analysis across long-term, short-term and trading strategies, including the use of options and covered‑call techniques. While portfolios are actively managed and monitored, Beach Cities operates on a non‑discretionary basis and obtains client permission prior to executing trades; it typically holds client cash in money market funds, CDs, or high‑grade debt instruments for liquidity and fee debits.

Distinctive features include that the firm reported $0 in discretionary assets and $108,926,430 in non‑discretionary assets as of December 31, 2025, and its representatives also act as licensed insurance agents/brokers, a dual role disclosed as a potential conflict of interest. The firm is a small advisory team serving a modest client base, leverages Schwab for custody and research support, and discloses a historical FINRA arbitration settlement from 2010 in its disciplinary history.

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.
