About

The firm advises a mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations and defined contribution plans. It provides discretionary portfolio management and integrated financial planning services, with tailored client profiles and a stated account minimum for managed portfolios.

DJY constructs customized, structured portfolios and manages most client assets on a discretionary basis, documenting goals and restrictions in individual client profiles. The firm uses a combination of fundamental, technical (charting) and cyclical analysis and lists strategies that can include long‑ and short‑term transactions, option writing and margin (borrowing) and rebalancing as part of portfolio implementation and ongoing monitoring.

The brochure discloses written solicitation and referral arrangements, including payment to solicitors and a specific referral relationship with an accounting firm that provides services to the adviser — a form of third‑party endorsement and paid referral that the firm discloses to prospective clients. It also notes brokerage and custody practices that include use of a recommended broker‑dealer (with related non‑cash benefits such as block trading and reporting tools) and the firm’s inclusion of margin/borrowing and other active trading techniques in its list of possible strategies; the brochure further discloses a 2022 regulatory consent order related to state registration, which the firm reports was resolved with reimbursement from a former compliance consultant.

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.

By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
