About

Discovery Wealth Planning provides discretionary investment management alongside ongoing, project-based, and one-time financial planning and tax-planning services for high‑net‑worth individuals. The firm coordinates tax return preparation through third‑party providers as part of its planning work.

Portfolios are built mainly with a passive, strategic asset allocation approach and may include tactical adjustments within target ranges; investment decisions are tailored to each client’s goals and risk tolerance and implemented on a discretionary basis. Financial planning is integrated with investment oversight and tax planning, with periodic monitoring and client access to planning tools.

Noteworthy distinctions include the firm’s choice not to charge percentage‑of‑assets fees, an approach that is uncommon among independent advisers, and its focus on only high‑net‑worth clients rather than individual non‑HNW households. The firm manages roughly $34 million for a very small client roster and highlights tax‑planning capability and coordination of tax services as part of its core offering.

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.
