About

Lewis M. Wallensky provides financial planning, consulting, and selection/monitoring of third‑party money managers for individual clients. The firm bills directly for planning and consulting engagements and also facilitates implementation through recommended broker‑dealers and insurance products when clients choose to proceed.

The firm’s advisory work emphasizes gathering client information, drafting a written financial plan or Personal Investment Policy Statement, and then identifying independent registered investment advisers to manage assets consistent with that plan. Lewis M. Wallensky uses qualitative analysis, third‑party research and due diligence on outside managers rather than running discretionary portfolios in‑house.

Distinctive features include that firm personnel are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer (LPL Financial) and are licensed insurance agents, and the brochure discloses that commissions and insurance compensation account for more than half of the firm’s revenue. The firm also reports that it does not actively manage client assets internally (showing $0 managed on a discretionary and non‑discretionary basis as of 12/31/2017) and receives referral/monitoring compensation from third‑party managers it recommends.

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.
