About

Winter & Associates serves individuals (including high net worth individuals), families, trusts and estates, and small businesses, offering asset management, financial planning and consulting, selection and monitoring of other investment advisers, and retirement plan consulting. The firm reports approximately $180 million in assets under management, supports about 200 client relationships, and operates with a four-advisor team.

The firm acts as a fiduciary and uses fundamental analysis and strategic asset allocation to build portfolios, primarily recommending no-load mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (both passive and active) and providing discretionary portfolio management with periodic reviews and rebalancing. Winter & Associates also selects and monitors unaffiliated sub-advisors for turnkey management services and prepares investment policy statements and participant-level support for retirement plans.

Notable distinctions include that certain investment adviser representatives are separately licensed insurance agents who may, in that capacity, offer life insurance, annuities, and other insurance products for commissions — a conflict the firm discloses and for which clients are under no obligation to transact. The firm also discloses that it does not sponsor, manage, or participate in wrap-fee programs and relies on an outsourced platform provider for trade processing, compliance support, and portfolio analytics.

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.
