About

Minerva Planning Group provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates and other advisors, and also offers retirement‑account advice including rollovers. Like many supported firms, it combines ongoing portfolio management with standalone or hourly financial planning engagements and charges fees based on assets under management.

The firm follows a primarily long‑term, fundamental approach implemented with low‑cost, diversified mutual funds and ETFs and will frequently utilize funds from a provider that is generally available only through registered investment advisors. Portfolios may also include individual stocks or bonds and retain legacy holdings for tax or suitability reasons, and accounts are monitored continuously with formal reviews at least annually.

Managing roughly $237 million with three advisors, the firm operates at a relatively high asset‑per‑advisor scale and generally requires a $1 million relationship minimum (waivable at the firm’s discretion), indicating a focus on larger client relationships. It also maintains a formal succession agreement with Patton Albertson Miller Group, LLC to reduce service disruption in the event of key‑person issues, and its small team includes multiple professional designations (CFP and CFA) that support its compliance and planning processes.

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.
