About

The firm provides fee-based financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals and families as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. Services described in the brochure include comprehensive financial planning (cash flow, retirement and education planning, tax and estate planning reviews) and ongoing portfolio management tailored to client objectives.

Its investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory implemented primarily through no‑load or load‑waived mutual funds and ETFs, with a core‑and‑satellite mix, periodic rebalancing, and tactical reallocations when warranted; the firm may hold elevated cash positions defensively during periods of heightened market risk. The adviser draws on third‑party research and an external research relationship and generally does not use margin, options, or direct short‑selling except via limited exposure funds.

Notably, the firm discloses that advisory affiliates are licensed insurance agents and that insurance commissions may be received when insurance products are recommended, creating a potential conflict of interest that is acknowledged in the brochure. The practice operates as a small team managing roughly $74 million for a modest number of household relationships, offers both hourly/project planning engagements in addition to ongoing management, and delegates custody to third‑party custodians.

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.
