About

Indie Asset Partners advises individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, and private investment funds, offering financial planning, portfolio management, multi-family office services and retirement-plan consulting. The firm also serves as investment adviser to several private pooled funds and requires or expects multi-family office clients to build and maintain a $5 million investment relationship over a defined period.

The firm builds a Financial Profile and Investment Plan with each client and implements those plans on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, typically using ETFs, individual equities, mutual funds, fixed income, BDCs, DSTs and structured notes while recommending alternative investments where appropriate. It sources many alternative investments through third-party platforms (for example, iCapital), advises pooled vehicles (including affiliated private funds and multi‑series fund structures) and operates funds that assess performance-based allocations for eligible investors.

Notable distinctions include a complex of affiliated entities that sponsor and manage private funds and series (creating layered adviser and manager relationships) and a private‑equity vehicle concentrated in a single pharmaceutical investment. The firm discloses that a principal also practices law and may refer clients for estate-planning work, that some affiliated funds use performance-based fee arrangements and present fund performance information, and that certain affiliated fund holdings have presented valuation and audit complexities because of illiquid underlying investments.

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.
