About

Breakwater Capital Group provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high net worth clients, retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers portfolio management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), financial planning, retirement plan advisory and consulting, selection of other advisors, and limited trustee services as described in the brochure.

The firm’s investment process relies on fundamental analysis and constructs portfolios from ETFs, mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, and alternative investments, and may recommend independent managers when appropriate. The brochure discloses the use of margin transactions and options strategies alongside ongoing account reviews and integrated financial planning as part of wealth management engagements.

Breakwater reports approximately $1,019,176,972 in discretionary assets under management and a four‑advisor team in its filing, a scale that implies AUM per advisor above $200 million relative to peers. The brochure also shows the firm operates from multiple offices, offers formal retirement plan participant enrollment and education tracking, and maintains in‑house trading and research resources (including a CFA charterholder on staff), features that are less common among similarly sized team advisers.

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.
