About

Resource Financial Group, Ltd. provides investment advisory, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, and employer-sponsored retirement plans. The firm offers both discretionary portfolio management and non-discretionary consulting, plus limited-scope advice and administrative services for plan sponsors and participants.

The firm builds individualized investor profiles and generally emphasizes a long-term, buy-and-hold approach with periodic reviews (typically two to six times per year) and portfolio rebalancing as needed; strategies can include individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, and option or margin strategies when appropriate. Resource Financial Group also implements accounts on a third‑party Wealth Management Platform (AMP option) and can manage variable annuity sub-accounts through that platform, with custody and clearing services provided by outside custodians.

What is distinctive about the firm is its combination of roles: advisers are also registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and are licensed to sell insurance products, and the firm accepts commission business in addition to asset‑based advisory fees—arrangements it discloses as potential conflicts of interest. Resource Financial Group is relatively small in advisor headcount but manages substantial assets (roughly $637 million in regulatory AUM, with about $481 million discretionary), and it participates in a wrap‑fee program for advisor‑managed portfolios, features that are less common among peer team firms.

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.
