About

Pension Maxima serves pension, profit‑sharing and 401(k) plan sponsors as well as individual clients, providing pension consulting, financial planning, model portfolio management, and a manager‑of‑managers service. The firm focuses on plan‑level advisory work and delivers recommendations and oversight rather than acting as the primary trading agent for most accounts, with most client assets managed on a non‑discretionary basis.

Its process centers on developing written investment policy statements, selecting mutual‑fund lineups to implement those IPSs, and periodically reviewing model portfolios and third‑party asset managers. The firm also provides participant education and investment workshops for self‑directed plan participants under ERISA guidance and conducts ongoing monitoring of recommended managers and model portfolios.

Notable distinctions include routine participant seminars and workshops, staff who act as licensed insurance agents, and related activities such as licensing and financial‑wellness instruction and tax‑planning services that create additional referral and compensation relationships. These relationships and potential conflicts are disclosed in the brochure, and the firm describes procedures for documenting suitability, disclosing referral arrangements, and attempting to mitigate conflicts through fiduciary practices.

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.
