About

Zenith Advisory Group provides financial planning, consulting and discretionary investment management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, estates and other entities. The firm also offers access to its own private equity offerings—Zenith Advisory Group Private Equity Fund I, II and IV—to accredited investors.

Portfolios are tailored using risk profiles, questionnaires and ongoing reviews and are typically implemented with mutual funds, ETFs and individual equity and fixed‑income securities, with most accounts managed on a discretionary basis. Zenith serves as investment manager to pooled vehicles (its private equity funds) and discloses that those private fund management fees are paid by the funds from fund assets and that private fund holdings are excluded from its AUM billing.

What distinguishes Zenith from many peers is its active role as a private fund adviser and manager of pooled vehicles—services that are uncommon among supported firms of its size—combined with advisors who are licensed insurance agents and may offer commissionable insurance products. The firm also requires custody with its recommended qualified custodian and states it will apply ERISA/Code fiduciary guidance (including applicable prohibited‑transaction exemptions) when providing nondiscretionary retirement plan or rollover advice.

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.
