About

HighMark Wealth Management serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients and retirement plan sponsors, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning and retirement plan consulting. The four‑advisor team manages roughly $611.7 million in client assets and implements portfolios composed primarily of mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and allocations to independent managers.

The firm typically offers services on a wrap‑fee basis that can include trade execution, custody and reporting, and it also accepts standalone planning engagements when requested. HighMark’s investment process uses charting, fundamental and technical analysis, and the firm discloses that it may permit borrowing (margin or securities‑based loans) and treats cash positions as an asset class when managing accounts.

Noteworthy distinctions include acting as a wrap‑fee program sponsor — with Fidelity serving as the custodian for program accounts — which the firm discloses can create incentives related to trade frequency and transaction costs. The brochure also discloses the use of compensated promoters/endorsements to introduce prospects and a recommendation relationship with an independent manager (FirstLight) that involves a familial connection to the principal and requires a separate client agreement to address the conflict.

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.
