About

ARQ Wealth Advisors serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and corporate clients, delivering fee-only asset management and financial planning. The firm provides ongoing portfolio management, financial planning consultations, and a retirement plan program, and manages over $1.1 billion in client assets.

The firm emphasizes individualized asset-allocation strategies, using fundamental and technical analysis alongside long- and short-term security selection, with regular monitoring and rebalancing. Uncommonly for a team firm, ARQ employs derivatives in separately managed accounts — including options strategies such as covered calls — and also accesses private-asset and digital-asset exposure primarily through ETFs and interval mutual funds.

Noteworthy aspects compared with peers include providing both ERISA Section 3(21) and 3(38) retirement plan services and a voluntary affirmation of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard’s Real Fiduciary™ Practices. ARQ operates as a fee-only adviser that does not sell commissionable securities and is staffed by a multi-advisor team overseeing a relatively large asset base.
