About
The firm provides combined financial planning and ongoing discretionary investment management primarily to individual clients and small businesses, using a proprietary planning tool to create a “permanent portfolio” allocation and to inform retirement, college funding, and family wealth mentoring. Portfolios are implemented and rebalanced to align with each client’s stated goals and risk profile, and the firm offers these services through separately managed accounts.
The adviser’s investment approach blends a permanent-portfolio framework (U.S. and international equities, commodities, REITs, and fixed income/merger-arbitrage) with a 2026 shift toward a factor-based, model-driven process that typically produces an equal-weighted stock portfolio with about a one-year holding horizon. The firm also uses event-driven merger-arbitrage strategies and derivatives (including options) in separately managed accounts, sometimes in place of traditional fixed-income allocations.
Noteworthy distinctions include an affiliated event-driven research platform that informs the firm’s merger-arbitrage activity and the explicit use of derivatives in client accounts—an uncommon practice among independent advisers. The brochure also discloses that the principal dedicates material time to two other businesses (an investment research service and a software firm), which the firm identifies as a factor for prospective clients to consider from an operational and key-man perspective.

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