About

TorchLight Financial serves individual clients, including high‑net‑worth households, by offering comprehensive financial planning and portfolio management as well as standalone financial planning consultations. The firm is a state‑registered independent adviser operated by a single CFP®‑credentialed advisor and reports roughly $44.6 million in assets under management across about 57 client relationships.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long‑term, asset‑allocation driven portfolios constructed mainly with low‑cost exchange‑traded funds and mutual funds, with allocation and security selection tailored to each client’s risk tolerance and objectives. Accounts are generally managed on a discretionary basis with periodic reviews to monitor allocations, tax considerations, and updates to the financial plan.

What differentiates the firm from many peers is its provision of group educational workshops and customized presentations for employers and other organizations — services the brochure describes as general, non‑personalized financial education rather than individual advice. The practice pairs these public educational programs with one‑on‑one fiduciary advice delivered by a sole, CFP®‑credentialed practitioner.

Torchlight Financial

Hello! I’m Laura Seymour, the founder of TorchLight Financial. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner and truly enjoy working with clients transitioning into retirement or already retired. I’ve been working in the financial planning industry since 2007 and founded TorchLight in 2011. I have worked with hundreds of clients over the last 15 years to navigate the path to retirement as well as general financial considerations. It is my goal to use clear language versus “financial terms” to help people understand concepts and considerations related to financial choices. By offering comprehensive advice as well as ongoing investment management, I can truly know you and become a trusted partner in your decisions and journey. I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Minnesota (near Willmar) with loving parents who may not have had a lot of money but really stressed personal responsibility and integrity. I value authentic, genuine relationships with people and am grateful for clients who have trusted me to help them with their financial decisions. Travel and cycling are my non-work passions. Shannon, my life partner, and I traveled to Ireland (he’s 100% Irish!) in March 2023. We have experienced Maui, Puerto Vallarta, and Turks & Caicos. Up next: Europe in the fall (2024) and a Tour de France trip in 2025. Leading a weekly women’s cycling group and logging as many miles on my Bianchi Infinito as possible is one of my favorite summertime activities in Minnesota.

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.
