About
The firm provides personalized, confidential financial planning and investment management to individuals, trusts, and estates through comprehensive financial plans, ongoing investment advisory, retainer wealth oversight, and hourly modular engagements. As a fee‑only registered investment adviser, it uses standard billing arrangements (percentage‑of‑assets, fixed fees, and hourly rates) and focuses on portfolio management for individual clients.
Portfolios are managed using a strategic asset allocation with a core‑and‑satellite approach—passive index funds as the core and selectively chosen active funds or individual securities in satellite positions—together with global diversification across mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and bonds. The adviser operates predominantly on a non‑discretionary basis, typically recommending trades and obtaining client consent (while sometimes using a limited power of attorney to place trades), and clients retain custody and proxy voting rights with custodians providing account statements.
A distinctive feature is the firm’s concentration of assets under non‑discretionary management — the brochure reports about $62 million managed on a non‑discretionary basis across a relatively small client roster, which yields a comparatively high asset‑per‑client profile versus many peers. The firm also specifies it does not accept commissions or sell financial products, offers a retainer option for oversight without trading, and provides modular hourly planning services.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
