About

BCS Private Wealth Management serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporations and other business entities, and also accepts investments from pooled investment vehicles. The firm provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and divorce mediation services, and acts as adviser to privately offered pooled vehicles (BCS Family Fund I and II).

The firm manages roughly $470 million in discretionary assets for about 213 client accounts and delivers tailored portfolios using equities, fixed income, exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, with ongoing monitoring and implementation coordination with clients’ other professionals. BCS employs multiple methods of analysis (charting, fundamental and technical) and may, in limited circumstances where deemed beneficial, engage in more active trading.

Distinctive aspects include its role as a private fund adviser under common control with the funds’ general partner—a relationship the firm discloses and manages through fund offering documents and audited financial statements used to meet custody-related requirements. In addition, certain firm personnel are licensed insurance producers who may recommend insurance or annuity products for separate compensation, and the firm offers ancillary services such as divorce mediation and limited notary services.

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
