About
Argenta Wealth Management (Gaudin and Associates, Inc.) provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management and financial advice to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm manages approximately $93 million in discretionary assets for about 82 clients and uses both custom portfolios and third‑party model or sub‑advised programs.
The firm gathers client financial information to set goals and an asset allocation, and uses a mix of fundamental, technical, and charting analysis while employing long‑ and short‑term strategies; it monitors accounts continuously and will rebalance as conditions or client circumstances change. Argenta also recommends and implements third‑party managed account programs (including SEI’s asset allocation and managed account platforms), and discloses and addresses risks such as SBLOCs, political risks, and cybersecurity in its investment oversight.
Argenta differs from many peer firms in that certain associated persons are licensed insurance agents and may earn commissions on insurance products, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict and describes procedures to mitigate. The firm also assists clients with Securities‑Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOCs) and uses SEI’s custody/managed‑account infrastructure for SEI programs—operational arrangements and conflict points that are explicitly disclosed in its ADV.

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.
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
