About

Bernard & Johnson Family Wealth Management advises individuals, families, trusts, small businesses and retirement plans — serving both high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW households — with financial planning as the foundation of its work alongside discretionary investment management and retirement‑plan advisory services. The firm also provides ERISA fiduciary support to plan sponsors, including investment policy design, vendor due diligence and 404(c) assistance.

The firm constructs customized, long‑term portfolios implemented primarily through institutional money managers, mutual funds and ETFs, and may use unaffiliated independent managers for portions of client assets; it generally avoids recommending individual securities except to retain legacy positions. Portfolios are rebalanced and monitored regularly, the firm favors institutional no‑transaction‑fee funds where possible, and custody and execution are directed through an institutional platform while the advisor does not accept custody of client assets.

Compared with many peers, the firm’s advisors hold both CFP and ADPA credentials and note experience advising domestic partners, a specialization that is less common among similar firms. The firm is also distinctive for principals with professional backgrounds and active roles in the performing‑arts community, and it has recently transitioned to SEC registration, marking a change in its regulatory status.

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.
