About

Unique provides co‑advisory investment advice and retirement-plan services to individuals, corporations, business entities, and plan sponsors, and it also conducts public educational seminars and workshops. The firm serves as a liaison and ongoing support provider while recommending placement of client assets on a third‑party platform (Matson Money) rather than directly managing client accounts.

Investment guidance is delivered by recommending Matson Money’s asset‑allocation models, which the co‑advisor describes as based on Modern Portfolio and Efficient Market principles; Matson Money typically holds discretionary trading authority for the accounts. Unique documents client objectives, assists with investment policy statements and participant education, and reviews accounts periodically while relying on the co‑advisor for execution and custodial reporting.

Noteworthy features in the brochure include the principal’s substantial outside insurance practice (approximately 75% of their time) and ownership interests in other businesses, which the firm discloses as potential sources of commission income and manages through disclosure and internal policies. The firm also reports that it does not hold custody or direct AUM (it receives advisory fees via the co‑advisor arrangement) and limits its ERISA 3(21) services by excluding certain asset types such as employer securities, non‑public partnerships, and most direct real estate holdings.

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.
