About

Rachor Investment Advisory Services serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, qualified retirement plans, charitable organizations, and businesses by providing personalized discretionary and non‑discretionary investment advisory services. The firm offers a Diversified Strategy implemented primarily with ETFs and mutual funds and a Concentrated Strategy delivered through third‑party private money managers, and includes financial planning services such as lifetime cash‑flow projections at no additional charge.

Rachor’s Diversified approach relies on an evidence‑based allocation framework informed by Dimensional Fund Advisors research to set equity, fixed income, international, size, and factor exposures and emphasizes low‑turnover, ETF‑focused implementation. For portions of client portfolios that use the Concentrated Strategy, the firm conducts due diligence and recommends unaffiliated private money managers on a non‑discretionary basis; those strategies are typically less diversified, have higher turnover, and may employ leverage or shorting.

A distinctive feature is that Rachor is licensed as a public accounting firm and provides limited tax planning and preparation to advisory clients at no additional charge, a practice the brochure notes can create an incentive to maintain the advisory relationship. The firm also regularly discloses performance information — including manager performance histories used in due diligence, client performance reports, and written hypothetical lifetime projections — and provides separate Part 2A disclosure for each recommended private money manager.

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.
