About
The firm is a small independent wealth manager serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), college‑savings 529 accounts, an entity client, and a pooled investment vehicle; it manages roughly $35 million across about three dozen accounts. It provides ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and related wealth‑management services, generally billed on an asset‑under‑management basis.
The firm typically operates on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client approval for trades and maintaining only limited trading authority to execute discussed transactions. Its investment approach emphasizes multi‑asset active management — combining asset allocation, security selection and tactical adjustments informed by fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis — with client assets held at a third‑party custodian.
Distinctive for a single‑advisor firm, it also advises and holds custody of a private pooled fund that has not accepted new investments in over a decade, reflecting an uncommon private‑fund relationship for a practice of this size. The firm discloses a prior arbitration matter that was settled (a pecuniary settlement and asset transfer) and reports the matter as resolved.

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.
