About
Karp & Associates provides fee-based investment management and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, estates, fiduciaries, charitable organizations, corporations and business owners. The firm’s services include discretionary portfolio management, tailored asset-allocation planning, risk-management strategies and participant education and consulting for ERISA plans.
The firm’s investment process is asset-allocation centered and grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, supported by both fundamental and technical analysis; the brochure describes a pre-advisory profile questionnaire and four model portfolio structures used to set policy allocations and risk parameters. Accounts are managed with ongoing monitoring and quarterly reporting, with performance measured against the client-specific policy allocation and adjusted as market conditions or client circumstances change.
The brochure discloses that the firm advertises performance results, a practice that is uncommon among independent advisors and noteworthy for prospective clients to review in context. It also discloses that the principal maintains an independent insurance practice and may receive commissions for insurance products, and the firm documents ERISA-specific service options (limited 3(21) advice and full 3(38) investment-manager arrangements), creating a mix of personalized wealth management and formal retirement-plan fiduciary services.

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
