About
Mertz provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals, including portfolio management, risk assessment, estate-planning consultation, and broader financial decision-making support. It offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary managed accounts and allows clients to impose written restrictions on investments.
The firm tailors advice to clients’ stated objectives, time horizons, and risk tolerances and employs asset‑allocation frameworks alongside techniques such as dollar‑cost averaging, technical analysis, and both long‑ and short‑term purchases as appropriate. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and the firm operates through an independent custodian and brokerage platform for trade execution and custody arrangements.
The brochure discloses that Mertz may recommend and manage accounts through a wrap‑fee program, a service relatively uncommon among independent advisers. It also notes that the firm’s sole adviser holds an insurance license and may offer commissionable insurance products (disclosed as up to 30% of the adviser’s time), a potential conflict the firm addresses in its disclosures and code of ethics.

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
