About

Hopwood Financial Services is an independent, fee‑only fiduciary that provides discretionary investment management and comprehensive financial planning primarily to high‑net‑worth individuals, associated trusts and estates, IRAs, and retirement plans. The firm also offers stand‑alone financial planning and retirement plan consulting and coordinates implementation with outside professionals when requested.

The firm’s investment process is tailored to each client’s objectives, using an Investment Committee to maintain an approved list of securities, set allocations across equities, fixed income and cash, and review holdings on an ongoing basis. Hopwood treats cash as an asset class, may allocate assets to unaffiliated managers (including an Institutional Bond Program) and provides consolidated reporting that can incorporate assets held away from the firm.

Hopwood manages roughly $750 million for about 283 clients and operates seven offices, a multi‑office footprint that is uncommon among peers in its category. The firm generally requires a $750,000 relationship minimum (negotiable), does not recommend or exercise discretionary authority to purchase cryptocurrencies, and leaves proxy voting to clients while relying primarily on Schwab and Fidelity custodial relationships.

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.
