About

LifePoint Planning manages approximately $168.5 million for about 110 clients with three advisors, serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as employer retirement plan sponsors. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management alongside comprehensive financial planning, retirement‑plan consulting, and business‑planning services, with investment management and planning commonly bundled.

Investment decisions are guided by client‑specific investment policy statements and an emphasis on asset allocation using Modern Portfolio Theory and fundamental analysis, applying both strategic and tactical allocations. The firm uses third‑party managers and platform providers (including Betterment and Altruist), and employs a mix of passive index exposures and active quantitative/tactical strategies — in some accounts incorporating limited options strategies — while allowing clients to impose investment restrictions.

A notable feature disclosed in the brochure is that certain supervised persons are also licensed insurance professionals who may recommend and sell insurance products and receive customary commissions, a practice the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also offers alternative engagement structures (including flat‑fee and hourly planning options), provides retirement‑plan consulting, and suggests a $2 million household net worth for prospective clients while not requiring a formal account minimum.

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.
