About

Burkholder Wealth Management is a team-based registered investment adviser with a six-advisor team managing approximately $379.9 million for about 266 clients. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, hourly financial planning, and retirement plan consulting services, including acting as a 3(38) fiduciary for employee benefit plans.

The firm typically implements diversified model portfolios and emphasizes mutual funds and ETFs, using fundamental analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory to align allocations with clients’ risk tolerance and objectives. Brochure disclosures state the adviser generally excludes most derivatives but may utilize covered‑call option strategies in managed accounts, and it operates with discretionary trading authority while permitting household account aggregation for fee breakpoints.

Distinctive disclosures include an affiliation with a separate law firm whose legal services the adviser may recommend (clients are under no obligation to use those services), and that certain firm personnel are licensed insurance agents who may earn commissions. The brochure also notes the firm’s use of client testimonials in advertising and a policy of compensating employees for client referrals, with procedures intended to address the resulting conflicts of interest.

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.
