About
The firm provides discretionary portfolio management for individual investors, retirement accounts, trustees of personal and charitable trusts, and charitable foundations, managing roughly $10.3 million for about 30 client accounts. It does not offer wrap fee programs and establishes accounts under a written investment advisory agreement with brokerage arrangements that meet the firm’s operational requirements.
The firm follows a conservative, fundamentals-based (Graham–Dodd) investment approach that emphasizes individual stocks and investment-grade bonds while excluding futures, options, shorting, market timing, commodities and day trading. Mutual funds and ETFs are used only when necessary for smaller accounts that cannot meet the firm’s stated diversification threshold (roughly 100 shares in at least 10 companies across six or more sectors); bond selections prioritize rated issues trading at par or lower and utilities are used as core income holdings.
Noteworthy features include the adviser’s long background as a senior trust officer, an explicit preference for direct-holdings transparency over pooled bond or fund vehicles, and detailed brokerage-selection criteria (NYSE membership, multi-decade operating history, and a prohibition on soft‑dollar benefits). The firm does not take custody of client assets, does not accept third‑party referral compensation, sends proposed fees and documentation to client brokerages for deduction, and provides regular monthly commentary and annual portfolio reports.

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.
