About

Intentional provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning primarily for individual and high-net-worth clients, and also works with businesses and institutions on retirement plan (pension) consulting. The firm offers ongoing portfolio management, written financial plans, and tailored services that include analysis of clients’ current holdings and periodic plan updates.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, and economic analysis to inform both long- and short-term trading and strategic asset allocation, with regular reviews of performance and portfolio exposures. Intentional also performs initial and ongoing due diligence and monitoring of alternative and private investments for qualified investors, including manager calls and review of offering materials to assess how those investments interact with traditionally managed portfolios.

Distinctive elements noted in the brochure include the firm’s pension consulting practice for small employers and the fact that some supervised persons engage in insurance and other outside product sales and may receive outside compensation, which the firm discloses and monitors as potential conflicts. The firm also relies on custodial relationships that provided transition support at launch, uses soft-dollar research arrangements, and has added formal due diligence services for alternative investments—features that are less common among firms of comparable size.

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.
