About
DES Financial Group provides discretionary investment management and financial planning primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, managing roughly $34.1 million across its client accounts. Services include portfolio construction using stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, mutual funds and other public and private investments, along with written financial plans, hourly consultations, or fixed‑fee planning projects.
The firm designs client portfolios based on stated goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, conducts periodic reviews and rebalances, and uses outside research sources to inform investment decisions. Custody and execution are generally conducted through LPL Financial, and the firm discloses use of strategies such as options, short sales and alternative investments where appropriate.
What is distinctive about the firm is that its advisory practice is linked with broker‑dealer registration and insurance licensing: representatives are registered with LPL Financial and are licensed insurance agents, which allows the sale of commissionable securities and insurance products and the receipt of related compensation and trail fees. The brochure discloses potential conflicts from those activities, describes the firm’s Code of Ethics and supervisory controls, and notes custodial procedures (including standing letters of instruction and receipt of certain non‑soft‑dollar support from LPL) that differ from many independent advisory firms.

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.
