About

Loveland & Bastian provides tailored investment advisory services to individual and corporate clients, offering portfolio management and ongoing quarterly reviews while custody and trade execution are handled by Charles Schwab. The firm charges an annual asset‑management fee billed in quarterly installments and passes through trading costs to clients.

The advisers use a mix of fundamental and technical analysis and may employ options strategies and stop‑loss orders as part of portfolio construction. They generally operate on a non‑discretionary basis: investments are selected within client‑defined objectives, but the firm does not control broker/dealer selection or commission rates.

Compared with peers, the firm is notable for chiefly managing non‑discretionary assets — an arrangement that is uncommon among supported firms — and for permitting performance‑based fee agreements in select situations. With three advisors overseeing about $84 million for roughly 170 clients, the firm typically handles small shareholdings and generally does not vote client proxies.

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.
