About

The firm provides discretionary asset management and customized portfolio services to a mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, banks, corporations and other investment advisers. Like many firms in its category, it charges asset-based advisory fees and focuses on ongoing portfolio management for individual clients.

Cornerstone Select employs a top‑down investment process that emphasizes value‑based metrics supplemented by a technical trading overlay; security selection is driven by analysis of cash flow, invested capital and peer‑group capital charges to estimate economic value, while technical indicators are used to time entries and exits. Portfolios are monitored continuously and can be tailored to client objectives and written investment restrictions.

The firm is atypical among peers in that it both serves and sub‑advises other investment advisers, and several principals and registered employees are licensed insurance agents who may recommend and be compensated for insurance products. Its most recent brochure discloses material changes, including a revision to its fee schedule and a decision to no longer exercise proxy‑voting authority on clients’ behalf, with clients receiving proxy materials directly from custodians.

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.
