About

Investment Strategies, LLC provides comprehensive portfolio management and integrated financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and business entities. The firm manages about $76.7 million on a discretionary basis for roughly 22 clients and generally charges fees based on assets under management.

The firm applies a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and implements both long‑ and short‑term strategies, including trading, margin use, short sales and a range of option strategies; accounts are reviewed at least monthly. Financial planning and consulting — covering retirement, estate, tax, education, corporate structure, real estate analysis, mortgage/debt and insurance evaluations — are included as part of the comprehensive portfolio management service.

What is distinctive is the firm’s explicit use of derivatives and option strategies within separately managed accounts, alongside margin and short‑selling, which is uncommon for similarly sized supported firms. The advisory team also operates as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, and includes credentialed professionals (a CPA with a Personal Financial Specialist designation and a Registered Social Security Analyst), indicating the firm blends tax, Social Security optimization and insurance capabilities with its portfolio management.

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.
