About

Mission Street Wealth Planning (MSWP) advises individuals, families, small business owners, health care professionals, qualified retirement plans and nonprofit or corporate investment committees, offering comprehensive and limited-scope (à la carte) financial planning and ongoing portfolio management. The firm prepares individualized Investment Policy Statements (IPS) and uses those IPSs to guide recommendations and account administration for each client.

MSWP’s investment approach emphasizes diversified, asset-class exposure grounded in academic research, avoiding stock picking and market timing while focusing on investor behavior and long-term discipline. The firm operates on a non-discretionary basis, requiring client approval for implementation of strategies and trades described in each client’s IPS.

What distinguishes MSWP is its non-discretionary model at scale: as of December 31, 2025 the firm reported $0 in discretionary assets and approximately $42.1 million in non-discretionary assets under administration, and it relies on a single third‑party account administrator (Focus Partners Advisor Solutions, LLC, or FPAS) to implement portfolios and provide proprietary SA Funds in some cases. The brochure discloses the resulting conflicts of interest (including fee arrangements and the sole‑provider relationship) and also states there are no material legal or disciplinary events involving the firm or its principal.

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.
