About

Klaas Financial Asset Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management through its Klaas Investment Portfolios (KIP) wrap-fee program, ongoing and project-based financial planning via Klaas 360 (including access to a web-based Klaas Portal), retirement-plan services under its Klaas 401K offering, non‑discretionary investment consulting for brokerage customers, and tax preparation services. The firm serves individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households), small businesses and plan sponsors, and reports approximately $758 million in assets under management across roughly 1,015 clients and 15 advisors.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes diversified, long‑term asset allocation and discretionary management within the KIP program, while financial planning engagements can be ongoing (Comprehensive Financial Planning) or project‑based and include annual reviews and periodic updates. For retirement plans Klaas can act as either a non‑discretionary 3(21) fiduciary or a discretionary 3(38) investment manager, and it coordinates implementation and reporting through vendor relationships described in its ADV.

Compared with many multi‑team peers, Klaas discloses several uncommon marketing and client‑communication practices in its ADV: it publishes periodicals/newsletters, provides hypothetical performance illustrations in marketing materials, and uses client testimonials—each noted as relatively rare among firms of this type. The brochure also highlights operational features that distinguish the firm, such as its explicit no‑commission compensation policy, a referral network of third‑party professionals (Klaas Professional Network), a Mutual Securities consulting arrangement for brokerage customers, and a stated preference for recommending certain custodians (with related economic benefits disclosed).

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.
