About

Gasaway Investment Advisors serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and businesses, managing roughly $173 million across about 384 client accounts. The firm provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and third‑party administration and recordkeeping for qualified retirement plans through its Alliance Retirement Plan Solutions DBA, including 3(21) and 3(38) ERISA fiduciary services, model portfolios, and default (QDIA) allocations for plan participants.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes active portfolio management and manager/fund screening: it assigns target allocations, monitors and replaces underperforming holdings, and uses a mix of ETFs, mutual funds, CDs and U.S. Treasuries consistent with account size and objectives. Gasaway also produces financial plans and projections to estimate retirement savings and potential distributions (financial illustrations used in planning) and implements model portfolios and glide‑path adjustments for participants who do not make their own elections.

A few features distinguish Gasaway from many peers: it operates as both a registered investment adviser and an insurance agency, and certain representatives are licensed to sell insurance products and may receive separate commissions (a potential conflict disclosed in the brochure), even though the firm states it does not receive commissions on the investments it manages. The firm’s Alliance DBA also provides bundled and unbundled TPA/recordkeeping services to outside advisors and plan sponsors and conducts participant engagement such as enrollment/update meetings and other participant education and reporting, services that are less common among firms of this size and structure.

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.
