About

Retirement Systems provides discretionary asset management and financial planning primarily to individual clients and also acts as a 3(21) fiduciary to qualified retirement plans. The firm reports approximately $37.5 million in discretionary assets under management and generally charges fees calculated as a percentage of assets.

Portfolios and financial plans are tailored to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, with discretionary trading authority to implement investment selection and asset allocation. The firm uses a mix of fundamental, technical and charting analysis, conducts periodic (quarterly) account reviews, and allows clients to impose written investment restrictions that are documented in an investment policy statement.

Distinctive elements in the brochure include that multiple advisors are licensed insurance agents who spend roughly 20–25% of their time on insurance activities and receive commission compensation for insurance products, a conflict the firm discloses and says it manages through procedures and fiduciary oversight. The firm also discloses a limited-scope ERISA 3(21) plan service model that excludes certain asset types (for example, employer securities and non-public partnerships) and notes that it does not vote proxies on client securities.

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.
