About

Brownlee Wealth Management serves individual and high-net-worth clients as well as corporate clients, with a stated focus on employees of large energy companies. The firm offers investment management and ongoing financial planning services, and also provides project-based planning engagements and referrals to third-party investment managers.

Investment decisions are guided by Modern Portfolio Theory and a predominantly passive, buy-and-hold approach using index mutual funds and ETFs with static target weights; the firm may hold legacy securities for tax reasons and implements tax-aware strategies when appropriate. BWM typically acts with discretionary authority for managed accounts and monitors third-party managers it recommends.

What is notable relative to peers is that BWM does not bill on a percentage-of-assets basis and instead uses a non-standard fee arrangement for advisory services. The firm’s marketing practices also differ from most team firms: it uses client testimonials and references third-party ratings, and it operates as a small team managing roughly $465 million for a compact client base.

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
