About

Waterstone Financial Advisory LLC provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, 401(k) plans and LLCs. The firm implements client programs through both third‑party sub‑advisers on the AssetMark platform and custom advisor‑managed accounts and does not state an account minimum.

The firm documents client objectives in a written Investment Policy Statement and describes a fiduciary approach that uses cyclical and fundamental analysis with a long‑term trading orientation. Implementation commonly relies on AssetMark’s curated third‑party managers, but Waterstone also offers a discretionary “Advisor as Strategist” option for custom or narrower‑scope accounts that may be less diversified and are monitored actively.

Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include that Waterstone is a recently formed firm (2023) managing over $260 million with a small advisor team, and clients using the AssetMark platform are expected to use the platform’s custodian (commonly Fidelity). The firm’s supervised persons are also licensed insurance agents and the brochure discloses potential economic incentives from AssetMark (growth‑support allowances and platform economics) as well as the separate sale of insurance products; the firm also does not aggregate block trades for multiple client accounts.

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.
