About

Colton Wealth Management provides personalized financial planning, investment management and related consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients) as well as pension and profit-sharing plans and trusts. In addition to retirement, estate and education planning, the firm offers tax services concurrent with its advisory work and operates on a fee-only basis without accepting commissions.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation and a long-term, buy-and-hold philosophy, implemented primarily through no-load, institutional-class mutual funds (notably Dimensional Fund Advisors), exchange-traded funds, individual fixed-income securities and certificates of deposit, with portfolios managed on a discretionary basis. Written asset-allocation plans are delivered at onboarding and accounts receive periodic reviews, while custody and trade execution are facilitated through an institutional platform.

What is distinctive is the firm’s provision of tax services alongside financial planning and investment management, reflecting an accounting-oriented practice model that is uncommon among peers. The firm also routinely recommends institutional-class DFA funds—holdings that may be less accessible to some retail clients and can affect portability after terminating services—and generally avoids IPOs and illiquid partnership investments.

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.
