About

Tilia Fiduciary Partners provides fiduciary financial planning, portfolio management on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases, and pension consulting for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, pooled vehicles and retirement plans. The firm offers standalone planning and implementation‑support services, participant education for employer plans, and assistance to clients who inquire about securities‑backed lines of credit.

Portfolios are managed to a client‑specific Investment Plan that generally emphasizes ETFs, individual stocks, mutual funds and bonds with a strategic buy‑and‑hold core complemented by limited tactical trades and basic hedging; an investment policy committee meets bi‑weekly to monitor positions. The firm permits client‑directed borrowing in separately managed accounts (including margin and SBLOCs), documents such arrangements, and discloses that margin balances and cash positions are included in assets under management — practices the firm discourages but will execute at a client’s direction.

The advisory team includes multiple CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS and a CERTIFIED EXIT PLANNING ADVISOR, and several staff members have prior military service, features that inform the firm’s team‑based decision and supervisory processes. Tilia has also clarified that any artificial intelligence tools it uses are limited to administrative and operational tasks (such as meeting transcription and summarization) and are not used to make autonomous investment decisions.

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.
