About
Harfst and Associates provides wealth management, financial planning, institutional asset management, and pension consulting to individuals, high-net-worth clients, family offices, trusts, endowments, foundations, and employee benefit plans. Services include discretionary portfolio management, modular financial planning, and ERISA fiduciary pension investment management and participant education.
The firm emphasizes a top-down, global macroeconomic approach combined with globally diversified allocations and tactical shifts informed by market analysis. Portfolios commonly use mutual funds and ETFs for diversification but may also include individual securities and more active strategies — including inverse/short funds, short sales, margin and option positions, and occasional short-term trading — and the firm may engage sub-advisors for portions of client assets while implementing client-specific investment policy statements and rebalancing.
What is distinctive is the scale and scope relative to team size: three advisors manage roughly $783 million across about 499 client relationships, resulting in a relatively high AUM-per-advisor and AUM-per-client profile. The firm also highlights specialty offerings such as NGO/nonprofit policy and resource-development consulting, acts as a sub-advisor or manager for wrap programs, discloses associated persons’ insurance licensing and commission arrangements, and does not vote client proxies (clients retain proxy voting responsibility).

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.
