About

Upleft Asset Management provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. The firm constructs customized portfolios that typically emphasize low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs, while also incorporating individual stocks and bonds and offering retirement‑account guidance.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental and technical analysis with a primarily long‑term orientation, while permitting tactical reallocations or shorter holding periods to rebalance portfolios or meet client cash needs. Upleft may implement portions of client portfolios through independent managers available on the SEI Private Trust Company platform and conducts ongoing oversight of those managers.

Distinctive features include a small supported advisory team managing roughly $54 million for about 50 clients and an institutional relationship with SEI/SEI Private Trust Company that provides platform software and custodial services — a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also documents and uses standing letters of authorization for money movement for at least one client and employs staff with atypical outside roles (an associate who concurrently serves as a full‑time police officer), which are notable relative to many peers.

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.
