About

Atlas Brown provides family wealth management and a suite of Family Office Services to individuals and families — including high‑net‑worth clients — as well as retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. Its services include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management across individual securities, mutual funds, ETFs and options, and, for accredited investors, access to private placements, together with planning, estate coordination, private foundation support and bill‑paying services.

Senior portfolio managers apply an institutional, multi‑asset approach that blends internal research, outside managers and alternatives to build customized strategies anchored to each client’s investment policy statement; the firm typically has trading discretion, uses block trading and limited good‑til‑cancelled orders, and conducts at least annual account reviews. Fidelity is the primary custodian and the firm emphasizes selecting cost‑effective mutual fund share classes and, where appropriate, exchanging shares to lower‑cost options.

Notable deviations from many peers include a formal promoter/solicitor arrangement under which Atlas Brown pays a referring promoter a portion of the management fee and requires written solicitor disclosures — a marketing endorsement practice that is relatively uncommon among similar team firms. The firm also provides Family Office bill‑paying with limited custody of client checking accounts and undergoes an annual surprise custody examination for those services, and it discloses economic incentives that can arise when advising on IRA rollovers and potential private capital from founders, with policies intended to manage related conflicts.

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
