About

Aspen Wealth Strategies serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, businesses and charitable organizations, managing roughly $312 million across a portfolio of several hundred client relationships. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management as part of broader wealth management, financial planning, insurance consulting, and select institutional consulting engagements for brokerage customers.

The firm’s investment process is primarily long‑term and fundamentals‑driven, using low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs as core building blocks while also employing individual stocks, bonds, alternative investments, and options when appropriate. Aspen supplements its fundamental research with quantitative models and proprietary algorithms and will trade more actively where client objectives or market conditions warrant.

What is distinctive about Aspen compared with many peers is its documented use of derivatives and options within client accounts, including separately managed account strategies, which the brochure identifies both as instruments for hedging and as speculative tools. The firm also notes a recent expansion into insurance consulting, offers two named model portfolios, provides consulting services to brokerage customers through a third‑party arrangement, and introduces clients to a non‑purpose lending program, all of which are described as part of its broader service mix.

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
