About

Diversified Management, Inc. provides investment advisory, financial planning, and income tax services to individuals and families, with a majority of its clientele described as high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, and estates. The firm also operates Cream City Investment Services (CCIS) to make model‑based portfolio management and basic financial planning available to clients who do not meet DMI’s $500,000 supervisory minimum.

The firm’s investment approach prioritizes asset allocation and diversification over market timing, relying on fundamental analysis and a preference for no‑load mutual funds for most clients. For CCIS clients DMI implements one of eight risk‑based model portfolios (ranging from Capital Preservation to Aggressive Growth) on a discretionary basis, with semi‑annual rebalancing and quarterly performance reporting; DMI clients receive individualized allocation and ongoing monitoring tailored to their objectives.

What is distinctive about DMI among similar team firms is its scale: it reports approximately $1.87 billion in client assets across six advisors (about $311 million per advisor) and roughly $1.73 billion managed on a discretionary basis, placing it in the minority of team firms with $200M+ AUM per advisor. The firm is employee‑owned and operates as a fee‑only adviser that integrates tax planning and tax return preparation (including staff with MST/EA credentials) into its advisory offerings while maintaining a separate DBA to serve smaller accounts.

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.
