About

Schmerge Executive Planning Services provides wealth management and financial planning to individuals, families, trusts, corporations and company retirement plans. The firm offers fee-based investment supervisory services and financial planning engagements, and also delivers participant-directed retirement plan services including fund selection, fund monitoring and participant education.

The adviser implements model-driven strategies sourced from third‑party research firms — including trend following, mean reversion, long/short arbitrage and relative strength — typically executed through tradable mutual funds, ETFs and, when appropriate, individual securities. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis with an emphasis on downside control using historical maximum drawdown bands (growth, moderate, conservative), and clients receive quarterly reporting on holdings and performance.

Notably, the firm’s principal is dually registered with a broker‑dealer and is licensed to sell insurance, so commission‑based sales of mutual funds, annuities and insurance products occur alongside advisory fees and are disclosed as potential conflicts of interest. The combination of pension consulting and participant‑level retirement plan services, use of third‑party quantitative trading models, and occasional recommendations of non‑traditional products (leveraged/inverse/buffer ETFs and derivatives) distinguishes the firm from many independent peers.

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.
