About

KO Financial is a solo-registered investment adviser that serves primarily individual clients while also advising corporate pension and profit‑sharing plans and other institutional clients; the firm manages roughly $19 million for about 65 clients. Services include discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, written financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting and fiduciary support.

The firm builds tailored portfolios using modern portfolio theory and asset‑dedication model allocations, monitors accounts regularly, and rebalances to maintain alignment with clients’ stated objectives and risk tolerances; it also drafts and reviews Investment Policy Statements for retirement plans. KO Financial generally recommends Fidelity for custody, provides trade confirmations and periodic performance reports, and communicates with clients through scheduled reviews and as‑needed consultations.

Distinctive for a single‑advisor independent firm, KO Financial maintains a substantive retirement‑plan practice—offering IPS development, fiduciary due‑diligence, benchmarking, participant education, and the option to serve as an ERISA 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary—which is uncommon among similarly sized peers. The firm’s principal is also a licensed insurance agent with a third‑party broker, spending approximately ten hours per month in that capacity and receiving commissions paid to his corporation when insurance is sold; this concurrent role is disclosed as a potential conflict of interest when insurance products are recommended.

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.
