Bagby Wealth Management

Bagby Wealth Management provides investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth families, fiduciaries, corporate and institutional clients. The firm offers multiple program options — including Tactical Investment Management (TIM), Strategic Investment Management (SIM), Basic and Comprehensive advisory programs, Customized and Institutional portfolios, and Wealth Management/financial planning services — and also advises on college savings (MOST), variable annuities, and Safe Harbor ERISA plans.

The firm combines a buy-and-hold, ETF-based strategic approach with a market-driven tactical program that uses proprietary trend and technical analysis; TIM is described in the brochure as largely objective and discretionary, while many other programs are model-based and implemented without discretionary authority. Bagby explains it provides ongoing account reviews, monthly or quarterly statements, and SEI-prepared quarterly performance reports, and notes that clients in the TIM program must also enroll in either the Basic or Comprehensive advisory program.

Bagby’s brochure highlights a mix of account types that is atypical for its peer group: as disclosed, about $29.4 million of its roughly $46.7 million in assets is managed on a non-discretionary basis versus $17.34 million discretionary, and the firm states it provides and advertises performance results. The firm’s emphasis on an objective, chart- and trend-based tactical system, its requirement that TIM clients also carry an advisory enrollment, and its range of institutional and plan-related services are distinguishing operational features relative to many supported peers.
