About
The firm provides investment management and financial planning to individual investors as well as trusts, foundations, endowments, estates, nonprofit organizations and business entities. Its advice covers equities, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income and alternative strategies and is tailored to each client’s objectives, risk tolerance, cash needs and any stated investment restrictions.
The firm employs a risk‑budgeting framework that allocates between a lower‑risk “Safe Haven” sleeve and a higher‑risk “Whale Road” sleeve, emphasizing diversification, periodic rebalancing, tax‑aware placement, and use of low‑cost index exposures where appropriate. Its investment process combines quantitative models and fundamental analysis and typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis.
Distinctively, the firm is registered with the CFTC as a Commodity Trading Advisor and maintains affiliations with commodity trading activities, which supports the inclusion of industrial and agricultural commodities and occasional systematic trading in its strategies—an arrangement that is uncommon among independent advisers. The firm’s principal also holds academic and operational roles that include oversight of portfolio and trading algorithms, reflecting a blend of systematic trading experience alongside traditional wealth‑management services.

Not sure where to start?
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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
