About

The firm provides investment management, comprehensive and project-based financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as employer plan sponsors and profit‑sharing plans. It operates as a fee‑only adviser and implements advisory relationships through percentage‑of‑assets fees for investment management alongside fixed monthly planning engagements.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset allocation informed by Modern Portfolio Theory, combining passive and active strategies and, when appropriate, employing outside managers or subscribing to model portfolios through the Altruist Model Marketplace to implement client accounts. Clients generally grant the firm discretionary trading authority and participate in an annual planning calendar with bi‑annual reviews and ongoing monitoring to update plans and assess progress.

A distinctive aspect of the firm is its retirement plan consulting practice for employer plan sponsors — including investment policy development, fee analysis, participant education, and vendor searches — where it provides ongoing advisory services and serves in an ERISA fiduciary capacity, a service less commonly offered by peers. The firm also integrates employee‑benefits optimization and business‑planning advice within its individual planning engagements and relies on a small client base and third‑party implementation tools to tailor solutions.

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.
