About
The firm provides discretionary portfolio management services to individual investors, including IRAs, trusts, self-directed pension accounts, and regular taxable accounts. It manages roughly $30 million across about 30 client relationships and generally accepts households with at least $100,000 in combined assets, charging fees based on assets under management.
The advisor typically constructs concentrated equity portfolios of about 10–20 common stocks, favoring mid- to large-cap issues and seeking dividend prospects above risk-free returns, while also using bonds, CDs, or money-market instruments when appropriate. Investment decisions are informed by a blend of fundamental analysis (including reliance on analyst consensus) and technical charting, and the firm exercises discretionary trading authority without consulting clients before each transaction, so a longer-term investment horizon is expected.
Noteworthy distinctions include a small client roster with a relatively high assets-per-client concentration and a willingness to let individual positions grow large rather than enforcing strict equal-weighting or frequent rebalancing. The firm documents a formal code of ethics and a restricted trading list, generally declines soft-dollar arrangements, leaves proxy voting to clients, and maintains regular client communication through a public website and blog.

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.
