About

Grimes & Company provides investment advisory and financial planning services to a range of clients including individuals, business entities, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and state or municipal government entities, and it also serves as a sub‑adviser to other investment advisers. Its service set includes discretionary portfolio management, retirement plan and ERISA plan advisory and participant‑directed plan consulting, plus basic and more advanced financial planning and referrals to unaffiliated professionals; estate‑planning documents can be made available through the Vanilla platform.

The firm says it builds customized investment strategies using proprietary research and portfolio management systems, allocating among no‑load or load‑waived mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and debt, interval funds, and allocations to independent managers where appropriate. Grimes also may recommend or allocate to private investment funds (including an affiliated High Income Opportunity Fund), utilize separate managers for specialized mandates (for example, a long/short equity strategy implemented through Aperio), and treats cash as an asset class in portfolio construction and management.

Noteworthy and less common aspects of Grimes relative to peers include its role as a private fund adviser and its affiliation with the High Income Opportunity Fund, its explicit provision of sub‑advisory services to other registered advisers and to the Little Harbor Advisors Risk‑Managed Income ETF (RMIF), and its engagement with state and municipal government clients. The brochure also discloses operational arrangements and third‑party relationships that arematerial to how services are delivered — for example, an affiliated insurance agency for commission‑based insurance recommendations and custodial, trading and referral relationships (Trade‑PMR, Schwab, Fidelity, and related referral programs) that the firm highlights as presenting potential conflicts of interest.

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.
