About

The firm provides discretionary investment management and integrated financial planning to individual clients and trusts, using mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds as the primary investment vehicles. The firm does not advise on individual stocks, bonds, or options, and financial planning is offered as part of its portfolio management service.

Investment decisions are guided by Modern Portfolio Theory: the firm offers a set of model risk/return portfolios, uses Monte Carlo simulations to assess cash‑flow objectives and identify the lowest‑risk portfolio expected to meet client goals, and documents the chosen allocation in an Investment Policy Statement with periodic rebalancing. The firm emphasizes low‑cost, tax‑efficient index funds and ETFs (including fundamental-weighted indexes where available) and manages accounts on a discretionary basis.

Uncommonly for its peer group, the firm offers performance‑based fee arrangements to qualifying clients while also managing asset‑based accounts, and it discloses policies intended to mitigate side‑by‑side conflicts (for example, limits on the profit subject to performance fees, use of Investment Policy Statements, and rebalancing discipline). The firm’s principal holds the CFA designation and adheres to the CFA Institute and Asset Manager codes of conduct, and the brochure highlights explicit conflict disclosures and formal documentation as part of its governance.

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.
