About
The firm provides discretionary and consultative investment supervisory services to individuals, retirement and taxable accounts, trusts and estates, and a range of institutional clients. Services include separately managed Core Equity, Balanced and tax‑free Municipal Bond portfolios and quarterly performance reviews.
The investment approach emphasizes domestic, larger‑capitalization common stocks and ADRs with a three‑to‑five year (or longer) horizon, low turnover, and a policy of not using derivatives, options, short‑selling or leverage; balanced accounts combine the firm’s equity strategy with higher‑quality fixed income tailored to client objectives. Portfolios are constructed and monitored on an account‑by‑account basis using a combined top‑down and bottom‑up research process, and most client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis.
What is distinctive about the firm is that, while operating as a solo independent adviser, it also manages institutional accounts — a service that is relatively uncommon among peers — and offers state‑customized municipal bond portfolios. The firm manages roughly $70 million in client assets (about $68.7 million discretionary and $1.6 million non‑discretionary as of December 31, 2025), generally applies a $500,000 separately managed account minimum (waivable in some cases), and the principal invests personal assets alongside client strategies.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
