About

Schlindwein Associates provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment supervisory services, including portfolio management, mutual fund advisory programs, and consulting for individuals, institutions, and corporate or not-for-profit groups. The firm also serves certain clients of a bank division (CIBC Wealth Management), where the bank’s clients continue to deal directly with the bank while Schlindwein manages investment decisions.

The firm constructs model portfolios through a strategic asset allocation process that emphasizes diversification across mutual funds, ETFs and, where appropriate, structured notes and alternative categories such as commodities, convertibles, MLPs and real estate. Schlindwein uses a client risk-questionnaire and a proprietary fund-ranking system that evaluates consistency, risk-adjusted performance, cost and manager experience to guide fund selection and periodic portfolio adjustments.

Schlindwein generally directs custody and brokerage to Charles Schwab and receives operational, research and technology support from Schwab and other vendors (including Morningstar), a relationship the firm discloses as creating potential conflicts of interest. The combination of serving bank-referred accounts, a formal proprietary fund-selection methodology, and routine use of alternative instruments is a distinguishing feature compared with many peers of similar size.

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.
