About

Harger and Company provides portfolio management, financial planning and 401(k) advisory services to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates and corporations. The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management and supports implementation options through its broker‑dealer capacity.

The firm describes a mostly fundamental, long‑term approach that emphasizes diversified allocations across equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and variable annuity sub‑accounts, with investment plans tailored through in‑depth client interviews. In addition to individual advisory relationships, Harger offers public educational seminars licensed through Broadridge and may prepare personalized financial plans following those events.

Harger is registered as both an investment adviser and a FINRA‑member broker‑dealer, and its representatives may receive commissions, 12b‑1 fees and insurance commissions as licensed insurance agents—relationships the firm discloses and says it monitors through supervisory reviews and a Code of Ethics. The brochure also discloses a FINRA settlement involving a supervising principal for supervisory violations, and notes that the large majority of the firm’s reported assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis with custody and trade execution routed through its custodian.

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.
