About

Bay Harbor Wealth Management advises individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and trusts with discretionary asset management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting. The firm also provides management of donor‑advised fund accounts and direct management of fee‑based fixed annuity sub‑accounts as part of its service offerings.

Its investment approach emphasizes risk‑based asset allocation implemented through ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities, and allocations to third‑party managers and model strategies, including solutions available via the AssetMark platform and DFA’s UMA program. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis, and clients receive consolidated reporting through a Black Diamond portal with an optional account‑aggregation add‑on.

Bay Harbor’s use of multiple third‑party platforms and sub‑advisers is a distinguishing feature: it routinely provides clients with platform and manager disclosure materials (e.g., AssetMark and DFA) and integrates third‑party performance and reporting into its client communications. The firm also discloses platform‑level fee arrangements and past incentive payments from platform providers and accepts advisory engagements to manage donor‑advised fund accounts — practices and commercial relationships that the brochure identifies and explains in detail.

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
