About

B. Riley Wealth Advisors provides investment advice and portfolio management to a mix of individual clients (including non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth individuals), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporate/business clients. The firm offers a range of programs—Advisor‑as‑Portfolio‑Manager (APM), third‑party managed programs using the Envestnet platform (SMA/UMA/FSP), internally managed W.I.S.D.M. models, financial planning and consulting, and retirement and reporting solutions—and manages roughly $4.21 billion in client assets through about 173 advisors.

Advisory relationships are delivered through affiliated investment advisor representatives who select research methods, investment strategies, and program placements for each client; accounts may be discretionary or non‑discretionary and clients establish custody relationships (directed brokerage) with custodians such as National Financial Services, Charles Schwab, or Fidelity. Program minimums and structures vary by offering (for example, the W.I.S.D.M. mutual fund allocation models list $15,000 minimums while SMAs commonly show $100,000+), and Envestnet is used for manager selection, trading and overlay services in multiple programs.

Notable operational features include the firm’s affiliation with a broker‑dealer (B. Riley Wealth Management) and a clearing relationship with NFS, which the brochure discloses can give rise to revenue‑sharing arrangements (e.g., Bank Deposit Sweep Program revenue sharing, No‑Transaction‑Fee mutual fund fees, transfer cost credits, and margin‑related referral compensation). The brochure also discloses a recent structured‑product referral agreement with a third‑party broker and summarizes past SEC matters (a 2019 share‑class disgorgement and interest of roughly $733,423 and a 2015 SEC order with a $200,000 civil penalty and undertakings), all of which the firm identifies as conflicts it monitors and discloses to clients.

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
