About
The Gardner Group provides discretionary investment supervisory services, financial planning, and consulting to a mix of individuals, trusts and estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and business clients. The firm manages roughly $125 million in client assets across a limited number of accounts and delivers ongoing portfolio oversight and reporting.
The firm’s approach emphasizes tailored asset allocation, ongoing due diligence on external money managers, and a combination of charting and fundamental analysis to implement client goals. Portfolios may include a wide range of instruments — from equities and fixed income to options, derivatives and structured products — and the firm conducts continuous monitoring with routine reviews and model portfolio guidance to align investments with client objectives.
Notable among peers, the firm explicitly includes charitable organizations and institutional retirement plans in its client roster and discloses that its principal is a licensed insurance agent who offers life, long-term care and disability insurance and may receive commission compensation. It also integrates financial planning and consultative client education through personalized meetings and written plans, which the brochure highlights as a regular part of its service offering.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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
