About

Tidemark, LLC provides discretionary and non-discretionary asset management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, small businesses and institutional clients. As of December 31, 2025 the seven-advisor firm reported approximately $462.5 million in assets under management across 849 client relationships and generally directs clients to custody accounts at LPL Financial while permitting Charles Schwab or Fidelity.

The firm employs a mix of fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and implements portfolios that can include equities, ETFs, mutual funds, fixed income, alternative investments, structured products and crypto-related products where suitable. Tidemark uses LPL-sponsored program platforms (e.g., MAS, MWP, OMP, PWP, SMS) to implement model and separately managed account solutions, monitors portfolios continuously for cash and style consistency, and conducts formal account reviews at least quarterly.

The brochure discloses that Tidemark advertises performance results and hypothetical performance, a practice that is uncommon among similar team firms and may influence how prospective returns are presented. The firm also notes several distinctive operational features: estate planning services delivered via a third-party digital platform, associated persons who are registered representatives of LPL and independent insurance agents, and receipt of various platform benefits and oversight arrangements from LPL that the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest.

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.
