About

Stewart Wealth Management provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, qualified retirement plan sponsors, endowments, and business entities. The firm delivers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, and separate consulting on private placements and other alternative investments.

Investment decisions are guided by strategic asset allocation, diversification and a core‑satellite approach that emphasizes low‑cost, institutional‑class mutual funds and ETFs and long‑term, tax‑aware rebalancing consistent with Modern Portfolio Theory. The brochure also makes clear that, for suitable clients and accounts, the firm may employ derivatives (for example, options and futures are listed among potential investments) and may use structured or borrowed positions and private placement vehicles.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s explicit treatment of derivatives and potential use of borrowing or structured‑finance arrangements in separately managed accounts—capabilities that are less common among peer team firms. The firm also combines these capabilities with private placement consulting and pension plan services while managing a relatively large asset base with a small advisory team.

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.
