About

Great Lakes Wealth, LLC provides asset management, comprehensive wealth management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, and employer plan sponsors through tiered service levels labeled Basic, Preferred, and Private. The firm reports approximately $166 million in assets under management across about 248 client relationships and charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees.

The firm emphasizes continuous and regular account supervision and builds tailored portfolios that may include individual stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, options, alternative and private investments, with reviews and rebalancing at least quarterly. Its investment process draws on fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and supports a range of strategies (long‑term, short‑term, trading, covered and uncovered options), while also using margin and permitting the use of third‑party sub‑advisors in certain accounts.

What is noteworthy in the brochure is that the firm’s supervised persons are registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (PKS) and Great Lakes Wealth is registered as an insurance agency, disclosures that signal the potential for commissionable securities and insurance sales alongside advisory services. The firm also explicitly discloses the use of options and margin in client accounts and a recent material amendment adding margin risk disclosure, and it employs third‑party managers for some client relationships—features that the brochure presents as managed and monitored but are less common among similar advisors.

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
