About
Ballast Rock Private Wealth provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (offered at no additional cost to portfolio management clients), and pension consulting to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and retirement plans. The firm constructs written Investment Policy Statements for each client, monitors portfolios regularly, and advises across a broad set of investment types including mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, real estate funds, annuities, private placements, and venture capital interests.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory, and quantitative analysis with a long-term trading orientation, and portfolios are tailored to clients’ goals, time horizons, and documented risk tolerances. BRPW typically requests discretionary trading authority, uses model allocations alongside client-specific recommendations, and provides quarterly reporting and reviews triggered by material changes in client circumstances or markets.
BRPW’s structure includes several features that differ from many peers: it is affiliated with a broker-dealer under common ownership, acts as a sponsor/manager of private funds through related entities, and its supervised persons may accept commissions or placement compensation for certain products. The firm discloses these conflicts, documents them in client files, and notes operational practices such as excluding some related-fund holdings from billable balances and directing clients to specific custodians or broker-dealers that provide institutional services and research.

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.
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
