About
Independent Wealth Management, LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plan sponsors, trusts, estates and other entities. Its service offerings include comprehensive and modular financial plans, ongoing portfolio management under Wealth Management Premier and Wealth Management Essentials programs, and retirement plan consulting and discretionary fiduciary plan management.
The firm blends fundamental and technical analysis and implements long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies, offering both discretionary and non‑discretionary management and model‑portfolio solutions through third‑party sub‑advisors. For managed accounts it uses sponsored platforms (including Fidelity AMP and Betterment) and generally requires custody at Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services, while retaining responsibility to select and monitor sub‑advisors and model allocations on clients’ behalf.
Noteworthy aspects of the firm given its scale are that it manages roughly $203 million of client assets with a three‑adviser team and about 176 clients, and it provides ERISA fiduciary consulting plus 3(38) fiduciary plan management services for retirement plans. The brochure also discloses several operational and conflict‑of‑interest features that are less common for firms this size — including a professional services credit and modest travel offset for client visits, a requirement that some Essentials clients accept electronic‑only communications, receipt of a portion of sub‑advisor/platform compensation, and a principal who also provides advisory services through an unrelated firm.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
