About

Avidian Wealth Solutions provides investment management, financial planning, and related advisory services to individuals and families (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, pooled investment vehicles, corporations, trusts, and other institutional clients. The firm generally manages portfolios on a discretionary basis, offers stand‑alone planning/consulting, maintains legacy wrap accounts for existing clients, and engages in sub‑advisory and oversight arrangements.

Avidian implements client strategies through a mix of managed model solutions and customized portfolios, aggregates accounts for model allocations, and accommodates client‑imposed investment restrictions; planners and advisors use tools such as eMoney and MoneyGuidePro and review portfolios via a regular investment committee process. The firm routinely uses third‑party sub‑advisors and independent managers for segments of client assets, supports “held‑away” retirement accounts through a technology platform, and includes alternative investments (private placements, real estate interests, and derivatives) in its investment menu.

What distinguishes Avidian from many peers is its active role with pooled and private funds: it acts as a sub‑advisor to Gridline‑sponsored funds and serves as investment manager/sponsor for the STA Real Estate Fund I, LP, with affiliated interests and fund assets included in its regulatory AUM. The firm also provides consulting and oversight to other advisers and to broker‑dealer customers (Mutual One), operates an affiliated insurance agency and an insurance platform through DPL for fee‑based annuities, and discloses Investment Committee oversight and compliance controls to address the resulting conflicts of interest.

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
