About

Mattern Wealth Management provides fee‑only investment and wealth management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts, businesses, and retirement plans. The firm also offers ERISA 3(21) retirement plan advisory services and participant education, and will provide non‑discretionary advice for held‑away assets such as variable annuities and 529 plans.

The firm works with clients to create written investment policy statements and uses portfolio allocation software, a mix of active and passive strategies, and ongoing monitoring and rebalance processes to align portfolios with risk tolerance and cash‑flow needs. Securities allocations commonly include individual equities, fixed income, ETFs, institutional mutual funds (including Dimensional Fund Advisors funds), and, when appropriate, allocations to independent managers and tax‑harvesting techniques.

Mattern discloses several features that are less typical among peers: its brochure lists its CRD number (304520) and adviserinfo references while the firm also advertises third‑party ratings in its materials, and Item 12 discloses that Trade‑PMR provided nominal startup funding. The brochure also highlights that use of DFA funds is subject to DFA approval and that clients may lose the ability to make additional purchases of certain DFA funds if the advisory relationship is terminated.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

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.
