About

Jemma Financial Services is a SEC-registered investment adviser that serves individual clients (both non-high-net-worth and high-net-worth), as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and incorporates financial planning into its investment services rather than offering stand‑alone financial plans.

Investment advice is delivered through five model portfolios ranging from conservative to aggressive, constructed primarily with ETFs and mutual funds and tailored to clients’ stated objectives, risk tolerance, and portfolio size. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced routinely, the firm uses third‑party research and an internal investment committee to review managers and holdings, and it may implement both long‑ and short‑term strategies (including margin or certain options strategies) when appropriate and requested.

What distinguishes Jemma from many peer team firms is that certain supervised persons have broker‑dealer registrations and related persons maintain affiliations with broker‑dealers, and the firm also discloses ownership ties to another investment adviser that manages registered investment companies; the brochure describes steps the firm takes to disclose and manage those conflicts (including excluding advisory fees on client assets invested in affiliated funds and maintaining compliance procedures). The firm also generally directs custody to particular custodians (Charles Schwab or First Clearing) and discloses receipt of custodial services and benefits that it monitors through its compliance program.

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.
