About

Park + Elm Investment Advisers provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting to individual clients and employer-sponsored plans. The firm serves a mix of individual households (including high-net-worth clients) and plan sponsors, and also offers participant-level investment advice and administrative support for retirement plans.

Investment decisions are guided by a risk-assessment tool and five model portfolios (Capital Preservation, Conservative, Growth, Aggressive Growth, Equity), with ongoing monitoring, rebalancing, and a long-term, asset-class approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory. Implementation typically uses institutional mutual funds—primarily Dimensional Fund Advisors’ funds—and sometimes programs through American Funds, and the firm can incorporate held-away accounts into its holistic reporting and oversight.

Park + Elm is affiliated with an insurance brokerage and an affiliated insurance services LLC, and some advisers are licensed to sell insurance; the brochure discloses these outside activities (which the firm says can occupy up to about 20% of an adviser’s time) and notes the resulting conflict of interest is monitored and disclosed. The firm also operates a supervised network of Investment Adviser Representatives who may use DBA names and provides ERISA-related fiduciary and consulting services, with plan assets under advisement reported separately.

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.
