About

Oldfather Financial Services is a team-based registered investment adviser managing about $556 million and serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, foundations, and corporate clients. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting, and may recommend private placements to accredited investors.

The firm's investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and the Fama‑French framework, using seven model portfolios that range from conservative to aggressive and emphasizing broad diversification, long‑term holdings, and periodic rebalancing. Portfolios typically employ ETFs, mutual funds and fixed income, and the firm also manages held‑away retirement plan participant accounts through a third‑party platform (Pontera) while providing participant education, benchmarking and vendor‑selection support for plan sponsors.

Noteworthy disclosures in the brochure include the firm’s use of endorsements and co‑sponsored events with business partners, and that third parties sometimes contribute to event costs — arrangements the firm says it evaluates alongside its fiduciary obligations. The firm also describes itself as fee‑only (rejecting commissions or product sales compensation), relies on Charles Schwab’s institutional custody and services, and has provided advisory services since 1992.

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.
