About

KRM Financial Planning & Wealth Management provides investment management and retirement‑plan consulting primarily to institutional clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, foundations, endowments, and businesses, while also offering financial planning and consulting services to individuals and families. The firm implements portfolios through proprietary model allocations and the appointment of third‑party money managers, and it delivers retirement plan support including vendor analysis, investment policy statements, investment monitoring, benchmarking, and participant communication and education.

The firm’s investment process blends proprietary research, academic theory and computer‑simulated models with quantitative screens and senior professional product knowledge to recommend strategic asset/style allocations, rebalancing and manager changes. KRM routinely exercises discretionary authority to implement portfolio changes and conducts ongoing due diligence on third‑party managers, evaluating items such as assets under management, ownership structure, repeatability of the investment process, composite construction, turnover and trading costs.

Distinguishing features for an investment manager of this size include an explicit ERISA 3(21) fiduciary consulting capability and a structured participant education program for retirement plans, along with a formal role selecting and monitoring other advisers. The firm is newly registered with no regulatory AUM and a small advisory team, and it also offers financial planning on hourly or fixed‑fee terms in addition to its asset management and manager‑selection services.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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.
