About

Arax Advisory Partners provides wealth management and advisory services to a broad client mix that includes individual and high‑net‑worth clients, family offices, institutions, and businesses. Services described in the brochure include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, retirement plan consulting, private fund advisory, and a sponsored wrap fee program (the Transcend Wrap Fee Program), with tools to manage held‑away retirement assets via a third‑party platform (Pontera).

The firm generally manages accounts on an asset‑based, fiduciary basis, using in‑house portfolio teams, independent external managers, model portfolios, and a mix of traditional and alternative investments (including structured notes and private placements sourced via platforms such as CAIS and iCapital). Arax also discloses the use of performance‑based compensation for a subset of accredited/qualified investors and carried interest for certain private funds, and it supplements investment research and operations with AI tools and third‑party analytics.

Arax’s recent internal consolidation and acquisitions (merging U.S. Capital Wealth Advisors and Transcend into Arax) and its scale — more than 200 advisors and billions in combined regulatory assets under management — distinguish its platform from many peers. The firm’s affiliation with an in‑house broker‑dealer (Arax Securities), related hybrid advisors, an affiliated insurance agency (Arax Insurance Solutions), and an affiliate in The Bahamas (Air Capital Partners) creates a broader set of revenue sources and conflicts (insurance commissions, placement or trail compensation, and program‑sponsorship economics) that are less common among multi‑team advisers.

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
