About

Arena Wealth Management is a two-advisor, fee-only registered investment adviser managing roughly $79.8 million for about 134 clients. The firm provides discretionary investment management and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), employer-sponsored plans, and charitable organizations, and does not participate in wrap-fee or performance-based programs.

AWM’s investment process combines modern portfolio theory and fundamental analysis, using both passive and active vehicles and monitoring asset allocation and manager selection on an ongoing basis. The firm frequently uses Outside Managers and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), and recommends participation in a third-party direct-indexing and options program for clients where appropriate; account reviews are conducted at least quarterly and clients may impose written investment restrictions.

Compared with many similar small, supported advisers, AWM is a recently formed firm (registered in 2023) with a stated $500,000 minimum account size (waivable on a case-by-case basis) and a recent material change removing financial planning as a service. The firm uses an institutional custodian platform that provides research and practice-support services, relies on custodial valuations for fee calculations, and does not vote client proxies, leaving proxy decisions to clients.

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.
