About

Altus Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, trusts and charitable organizations. The firm manages approximately $405 million across about 285 client relationships and delivers separate-account management through three models — Altus Select, Altus Premier and Altus Preservation — in addition to hourly financial planning engagements.

Its investment approach combines Modern Portfolio Theory with tactical asset allocation and relative strength analysis, seeking diversified exposure with an emphasis on low-cost ETFs and mutual funds for equity allocations and individual fixed-income securities for its higher-asset and Preservation strategies. Portfolios are monitored continuously and are generally positioned for multi-year holding periods, and the firm sometimes offers access to limited private offerings to qualified investors.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include a dedicated Preservation model focused on individual fixed-income securities and a stated practice of discretionary-only management while declining authority to vote client proxies. Altus also discloses potential personal-trading overlaps, maintains a formal code of ethics and compliance procedures to address conflicts, and notes staff involvement in community financial counseling and a foundation board with some overlap among clients.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
