About

Topel & DiStasi Wealth Management manages roughly $312 million on a discretionary basis for a mix of individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, retirement plans, and corporate entities. The firm offers asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, and standalone financial planning and consulting, including investment, retirement, estate and charitable planning as well as corporate and personal tax planning, cost segregation studies, and real estate and mortgage/debt analysis.

Portfolios are tailored and may include individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, options and selected private or alternative securities, with regular monitoring and rebalancing tied to client objectives and risk tolerance. The firm uses model portfolios spanning conservative to aggressive profiles and bills advisory fees on an assets-under-management basis, typically invoiced quarterly in advance and applied to cash and cash-equivalent balances when present.

Distinctive features include advisors who are also licensed insurance agents and a substantive offering of business-focused planning services (for example, cost segregation and corporate-structure analysis) that extend beyond typical individual-focused wealth management. The firm maintains custodial relationships with both Schwab and Fidelity — including a Fidelity transition-expense arrangement (up to $20,000) — and discloses these economic benefits and standing-letter-of-instruction custodial safeguards 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.
