About

Lightcap Financial Group serves individual and high-net-worth clients and also provides advisory services to institutional and plan sponsors, including pension and profit-sharing plans and corporations. The firm’s service menu includes asset management, a comprehensive portfolio management product that combines investment oversight with financial planning, standalone financial planning and consulting, and retirement-plan consulting.

The firm delivers individualized portfolios with continuous monitoring and rebalancing and employs a mix of analytical methods—fundamental, quantitative, technical/charting and sector analysis—alongside exposure to ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities and alternative investments. Lightcap manages approximately $18.7 million in discretionary assets (12/31/2025) and discloses operational features such as billing on cash with client authorization for fee deduction, proxy-voting services when authorized, and recognition of ERISA fiduciary duties for plan clients.

Noteworthy for a small, recently formed adviser—two advisors serving roughly 74 clients—is the breadth of client types reported in the brochure, which includes banking/thrift and insurance company clients, state or municipal government clients, other investment-adviser clients and, unusually, a sovereign wealth fund. The firm also operates as a licensed insurance producer under a separate doing-business-as name, a dual role the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest and for which procedures are described to mitigate conflicts.

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.
