About

New England Research & Management, Inc. provides discretionary investment management to high‑net‑worth individuals and families, overseeing revocable and irrevocable trusts, retirement and pension accounts, custodian accounts, foundations, and estates. The firm manages approximately $285 million in client assets across roughly 172 client relationships and generally requires a $500,000 minimum for new accounts.

NERM customizes each account using a mix of fundamental and technical analysis and invests across a broad set of instruments, including exchange‑listed securities, ETFs, municipal and corporate debt, foreign issuers, and warrants. Portfolios are managed on an individualized basis rather than as a commingled fund, and the firm discloses that it may employ borrowing (margin) and derivatives in separately managed accounts and will use short‑term trading when appropriate.

Compared with many peers, NERM’s explicit use of leverage and derivatives within separately managed accounts is an uncommon practice for a firm of its size and client focus. The firm also directly debits advisory fees from client custodial accounts, uses an independent proxy‑voting service (Broadridge), does not charge performance‑based fees, and offers an optional Income Tax Summary for taxable clients.

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.
