Sanford, NC Office

Base Wealth Management is a team-based registered investment adviser with nine advisors overseeing roughly $326 million for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, and other business entities. The firm offers fee‑based discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services, and also provides hourly and fixed‑fee planning arrangements.

The adviser generally implements a tactical allocation strategy informed by fundamental analysis to build custom, discretionary portfolios across a wide range of securities and investment vehicles, with periodic monitoring and at least annual reviews. For some clients Base Wealth employs third‑party money managers, SMAs, or TAMPs and connects held‑away retirement accounts to a platform for allocation and rebalancing; the firm discloses it may receive referral fees for recommending certain third‑party managers.

What distinguishes Base Wealth from many peers is the scope of its outside business activities and affiliated services: advisors are licensed to sell insurance through an affiliated insurance agency (Base Insurance, LLC) and some IARs provide tax and accounting services via an affiliated CPA firm (Base Tax LLC), and the firm discloses an affiliated estate‑planning referral company and the principal’s commercial real‑estate interests. These arrangements and the recent brochure amendments disclosing referral fees and additional outside activities are specifically disclosed as potential conflicts of interest and are addressed in the firm’s policies.
