About

Portfolio Design Services, LLC provides discretionary asset management, financial planning and consulting, and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts and estates. Its offerings include ongoing portfolio management, standalone or fixed-fee financial plans, and serving as an ERISA 3(38) investment manager for qualified retirement plans.

The firm customizes investment strategies to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, using equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs and employing fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis; accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis with quarterly reviews and rebalancing as needed. Financial plans are delivered within stated timelines contingent on client documentation, and ERISA plan services include investment policy development, selection and monitoring of plan options and participant education (provided as non‑fiduciary education when applicable).

Noteworthy aspects include the firm’s willingness to accept sole discretionary 3(38) fiduciary responsibility for plan menus, its stated practice of not voting client proxy materials (clients receive and vote proxies directly), and its use of recommended custodians that provide institutional research, trading and operational support. The firm also documents limited custody arrangements for fee deduction and third‑party transfer authorizations and offers fixed‑fee planning engagements with a published upper fee cap.

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.

By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
