About

Emergent Wealth Advisors serves individual clients — including high‑net‑worth individuals — as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, providing discretionary asset management, negotiable fixed‑fee financial planning and limited ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services for retirement plans. The firm implements portfolios directly and through platforms such as AssetMark or Orion and by recommending third‑party money managers and institutional strategists.

Investment programs are developed around each client’s goals, time horizon and documented risk tolerance, with analysis that may include fundamental, technical and cyclical methods and periodic account reviews at least quarterly. Emergent accepts discretionary trading authority, prepares client reports, and tailors allocations using both in‑house management and outside managers available on its selected platforms.

Notable operational and affiliation features include firm principals’ separate, licensed insurance practices — which may result in commission‑based recommendations and are disclosed as a potential conflict mitigated by the firm’s fiduciary procedures — and the firm’s participation in platform arrangements that can include business development allowances and third‑party fee sharing. The firm also operates at a relatively large scale for a three‑advisor team, and discloses certain operational choices such as not aggregating trades for block execution and not voting client proxies.

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.
