About

Lonestar Registered Investment Advisors provides financial planning and consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as pensions, trusts, and business entities. The firm arranges investment management through third‑party money managers rather than directly managing client portfolios.

LRI operates primarily as a co‑advisor and referral conduit, working with third‑party managers such as Gradient Investments and Flexible Plan to help select model portfolios, assess risk tolerance, and deliver periodic reviews and reporting. The firm does not accept discretionary trading authority itself and requires clients who engage its recommended managers to custody assets with those managers’ custodians.

Noteworthy aspects include a multi‑office footprint and roughly $250 million in client assets managed through third‑party relationships despite a small advisory team, and an ownership structure with ties to private‑equity affiliates that are minority owners in at least one recommended manager—relationships that the brochure discloses alongside fee‑sharing and incentive arrangements. The firm’s representatives also act as licensed insurance agents and spend a majority of their time on insurance activities, a material affiliation the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest subject to disclosure and mitigation.

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.
