About
Index Gurus serves individual investors, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small investment entities with personalized financial planning, investment advisory services and limited‑scope hourly engagements. The firm’s brochure reports approximately $44 million under management across about 31 client relationships and describes both one‑time financial plans and ongoing investment management relationships.
The firm emphasizes passive, asset‑class investing and global diversification implemented primarily through ETFs, index investments, mutual funds and preferred securities, with attention to income and fixed‑income sub‑classes. Accounts are managed on a non‑discretionary basis (trades are placed under a limited power of attorney), custodial services are provided through Schwab Institutional, and the sole advisor conducts continuous account reviews while communicating with clients when changes are recommended.
Index Gurus describes client outreach beyond routine reporting, including periodic newsletters/periodicals and educational seminars or workshops, and the brochure highlights the adviser’s academic and educational work as part of that capability. The firm is fee‑only, accepts a range of client types (including charitable organizations and investment companies), and offers structured planning options (comprehensive plans and hourly engagements) that distinguish it from many similarly sized solo practices.

Not sure where to start?
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.
