About
The Robert J. Wilkes Planning Forum provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management services, including analysis of life, disability and long‑term care insurance needs and educational estate‑planning materials. As of December 31, 2017 the firm reported managing approximately $25 million and constructs diversified portfolios that may include mutual funds, ETFs, stocks and bonds.
The firm uses both fundamental and technical analysis to tailor portfolios to each client’s stated risk tolerance, conducts account reviews at least annually, and delivers written analyses with rebalancing recommendations. It manages client assets on a non‑discretionary basis, with clients retaining trade authorization and custodial statements provided by SEI Private Trust Company.
Noteworthy for a firm in this category, the principal also maintains a New York State life and health insurance license and may receive commissions on insurance product placements, an activity that the brochure indicates consumes roughly 20% of the firm’s time. The firm also operates an additional advisory business and participates in select wrap fee programs, combining investment management with ongoing insurance and estate‑planning work in a single‑advisor practice.

Not sure where to start?
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.
