About
The Westerman Group, LLC works with individual investors (including both high-net-worth and non‑HNW clients), as well as businesses and trusts, offering fee‑for‑service financial planning and portfolio management. Services commonly include retirement planning, college funding, asset allocation, investment selection, and qualified plan subaccount analysis.
The firm implements customized asset allocation models through its Custom Asset Allocation Portfolio (CAAP) program and provides both discretionary active management and longer‑term buy‑and‑hold options. Portfolios are constructed from equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, with trading cadence that can range from periodic reallocation to position changes every 45–135 days; the firm also reviews mutual fund share classes when making selections.
Noteworthy for a firm of this size, The Westerman Group operates both fee‑based advisory services and commissionable activities: some investment adviser representatives are licensed insurance agents and the firm may earn commissions on insurance products and use commission compensation in certain arrangements. The firm also engages in promoter/referral relationships (paying and receiving referral fees) and, on occasion, uses leveraged bond funds for liquidity needs — practices that are less common among similarly supported peers.

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.
