About
Guardian Investment Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with discretionary asset management, financial planning, cash/treasury management, and educational seminars. The firm also provides discretionary oversight of variable and fixed index annuities, including making interest strategy selections, receiving contract information from carriers, and directing carrier withdrawals to pay management fees.
Guardian tailors investment programs to each client’s goals and risk tolerance using written investment policy documents and a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, and it uses third‑party program platforms (including Orion Portfolio Solutions) for managed accounts and reporting. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and custody is maintained at qualified custodians; the firm accepts discretionary trading authority to implement client strategies.
Distinctive features disclosed in the firm’s brochure include that the principal spends significant time as a licensed insurance agent and operates affiliated insurance‑related entities, which the firm discloses may create conflicts when insurance products are recommended and says are mitigated by disclosure and fiduciary procedures. The brochure also discloses recent regulatory/disciplinary background for the principal, including a 2025 criminal guilty plea with probation and a 2018 Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing (discharged), which are reported in the firm’s regulatory filings.

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
