About

Wernau Asset Management provides fee-based discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and consulting to individuals (including high net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. The firm also offers hourly consulting and negotiated fixed‑fee planning and family office services for more complex engagements.

The firm follows a value‑oriented approach that combines fundamental, cyclical and technical analysis and allocates across mutual funds, ETFs, individual equity and fixed‑income securities to meet client objectives. For clients who authorize active strategies, Wernau implements option‑writing, short sales, margin trading and other derivatives strategies within separately managed accounts.

Noteworthy features include an affiliation with an accounting/consulting practice and the firm’s participation in private investment LLCs that include some client partners, activities more commonly associated with fund sponsors or syndicators; these arrangements are disclosed and governed by its Code of Ethics. The firm operates with a small advisory team managing roughly $203 million for about 100 clients and reports acting as trustee or having custody for select client accounts subject to independent surprise audits.

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.
