About

Stillwater Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individual clients, including high-net-worth households, and also offers ongoing retirement plan consulting to employer plan sponsors. The firm delivers both standalone financial plans and integrated portfolio management paired with consulting for retirement plans, with services tailored to client objectives and risk tolerances.

The firm’s investment process draws on a broad set of methods — including fundamental, quantitative, technical, sector and cyclical analysis — and implements asset-allocation strategies across equities, fixed income and other instruments. Depending on client mandates, portfolios may include long- and short-term holdings, options and margin transactions, and are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis.

Compared with many small advisory teams, the firm combines individual wealth management with ERISA-aware retirement plan consulting and maintains formal policies (pre-clearance, periodic reporting and a written Code of Ethics) to manage conflicts. The firm’s principals also hold insurance licenses and may sell insurance products for commission, a relationship the brochure discloses and addresses through its fiduciary procedures and disclosure practices.

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.
