About

Bison Wealth serves individuals, high net worth clients, family offices, retirement plans, corporations, trusts, estates and charitable organizations, providing financial planning, portfolio management, curated model portfolios, access to third‑party managers, and ERISA retirement plan services. The firm also offers administrative and model-delivery services to other registered investment advisers through a Turnkey Asset Management Platform.

Bison’s investment process centers on outcome‑focused, multi‑manager model portfolios (described as Protection, Lifestyle, and Legacy) that blend tactical and strategic allocations across liquid and private‑market strategies and may include interval funds and other alternatives. It also manages distinct tactical and individual‑security strategies, allocates to third‑party models and TPMs, and offers an options‑based Overlay strategy implemented in coordination with an affiliated sub‑adviser.

The brochure discloses several features that differentiate the firm: Bison contracts directly with other advisers via its TAMP and discloses affiliated arrangements with Liquid Strategies (including promoter‑fee arrangements tied to the Overlay program). It also reported a recent material change to its billing method (moving to month‑end valuation) and describes specialized offerings such as assistance with box spreads and the use of interval funds, each of which raises specific liquidity and suitability considerations.

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
