About

Navigate Wealth Management, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, operating a seven‑advisor team that manages approximately $430 million for about 271 client relationships. Services include tailored Investment Policy Statements, model portfolios, and the ability to act as a subadviser to other advisers.

The firm constructs portfolios using modern portfolio theory and long‑term trading, documenting client goals and risk tolerance in written Investment Policy Statements and generally exercising discretionary authority to implement model or customized strategies. Clients receive monthly custodian statements and at least quarterly reports, and Navigate typically directs clients to use Schwab Institutional as custodian.

Notable distinctions include formal solicitor/third‑party referral arrangements (with required disclosures) and the firm’s relationships with other advisory entities — it operates under multiple dba names for certain services and discloses an affiliated adviser, Navigate 401k, with common ownership. Navigate also accepts subadviser mandates for unaffiliated advisers and does not aggregate (block) trades across client accounts, practices that differ from many peers.

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.
