About

The Clifford Group provides discretionary wealth management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates and businesses. Its services include portfolio construction using ETFs, mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, retirement account advice as an ERISA/IRA fiduciary, and written financial planning or consultations when requested.

The firm emphasizes a long‑term, fundamental‑analysis approach while retaining flexibility to rebalance or trade as market conditions or client needs dictate, and it supplements its research with third‑party sources and artificial‑intelligence decision‑support tools that are subject to human review. Client accounts are monitored on a continuous basis with formal reviews at least annually, and the Advisor provides discretionary management under written agreements that document client objectives and restrictions.

Compared with many peers, The Clifford Group is a relatively compact advisory team managing about $248 million with three advisors and discloses that it sponsors a wrap fee program that bundles normal securities transaction costs into its asset‑based wealth management fee (see Item 4.D and Appendix 1). The brochure also notes potential conflicts and operational features that are less common among similar firms — including reliance on third‑party research and institutional platform services, the presence of advisory persons who are licensed insurance professionals, and public disclosure of firm and personnel information on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site.

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.
