About

Wakely Investment Management provides portfolio management and wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates, offering both discretionary and non‑discretionary account supervision alongside ongoing financial planning. As of December 31, 2025, the firm reports approximately $86.7 million in assets under management across about 57 client relationships.

The firm tailors investment policies to each client’s stated objectives and constructs portfolios from ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities, and fixed income while also advising on legacy positions and accepting written client restrictions. Its investment analysis blends fundamental, technical, and cyclical methods, and strategies may range from long‑term holdings to more active techniques, including trading, short sales, margin, and options.

Wakely typically directs clients to a single custodian and participates in that custodian’s institutional advisor program, a relationship that provides non‑cash services the firm discloses as potential conflicts of interest and which may influence custody recommendations; the firm also reserves the right to decline accounts that direct other broker‑dealers. The firm maintains a $1,000,000 relationship minimum (negotiable), operates with a three‑advisor team across multiple offices, does not sponsor wrap‑fee programs, and leaves proxy voting to clients.

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.
