About

Tidecrest Wealth Management provides advisory services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, corporations, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and other business entities. The firm offers portfolio management across public and private securities, financial planning and consulting, retirement plan/pension consulting, and estate planning as part of its service set.

The firm’s investment process combines quantitative, fundamental, technical, and economic analysis—using charting, cyclical and strategic asset-allocation techniques—and it implements both long- and short-term positions as appropriate. Tidecrest may engage third‑party managers and recommend private fund investments for suitable accredited or qualified clients, and it documents an extensive private‑fund due diligence and ongoing monitoring process that includes review of offering materials, attendance at manager calls, coordination with client CPAs, and integration of private investment cash flows into consolidated reporting.

Noteworthy for a firm of its size, Tidecrest actively integrates private placements and alternative investments into client portfolios and handles operational tasks such as capital calls, distributions, and valuation reporting on a discretionary basis. The firm also relies on a primary custodian platform for trading and institutional systems support, discloses those referral and operational relationships, and does not accept commission‑based compensation or act as custodian of client assets.

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.
