About
Derive Wealth serves individuals, families, high-net-worth clients, and small businesses with comprehensive financial planning and portfolio management. Services include cash-flow and retirement planning, tax and estate coordination, education and divorce planning, and business consultation, with the option to engage institutional sub‑advisors or third‑party managers as needed.
The firm’s investment approach combines fundamental analysis with a Core + Satellite framework, using low-cost indexed funds as the portfolio core and targeted sector or passive satellite holdings for additional diversification or tactical exposure. Portfolios are constructed from mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income and REITs, are managed on a discretionary or nondiscretionary basis, and are reviewed periodically and on an event-driven basis.
A distinctive feature is the firm’s billing model: it assesses fixed advisory fees billed periodically rather than charging a percentage of assets under management, and it discloses that it does not receive transaction commissions, 12b‑1 fees, or performance‑based fees. The brochure reports approximately $141.29 million in discretionary client assets, notes a transition to SEC registration in 2025, and describes a preference for custody at a major institutional custodian while disclosing receipt of certain custodian‑provided services.

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
